Cicada Moving

Chapter 287 The visitor is evil

The dinner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs ended successfully. Bai Longdu left with a round belly. Half of a whole charcoal-roasted suckling pig was eaten by this guy. Director Li was deeply proud of the superb skills of the cooks of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

But it wasn’t without regrets. He hadn’t told Section Chief Zuo about business until now. Seeing that Chief Zuo finished his meal and wanted to leave, he hurried to the door. There were some things that he couldn’t put off.

Director Li stopped Zuo Zhong: "Secretary Shen, I have to leave so soon. To be honest, I have other plans after the banquet. By the way, I will introduce a few friends to you. They are several officers from the Military Commission."

 Finally, he got to the key point. It was hard for him to endure it for so long.

Zuo Zhong smiled lightly and looked at him without saying a word until he looked red in the face, then said slowly: "Tell Major General Luo that there is nothing you can do about Mr. Luo, but please don't worry.

Mr. Luo's life is not in danger. He should have been electrocuted in the electric chair, but since you have spoken, I will give you this face. I will not release him until the case is thoroughly investigated. "

Director Li was overjoyed when he heard this. He clasped his hands and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Shen, for your great kindness. Major General Luo is my old commander. If you ask me for help, I have to express my gratitude. I will leave everything to Mr. Shen."

By the way, in a few days we will have the opening ceremony of the new building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Many diplomats will attend it. Japan has sent its minister to China. I think you should come and take a look. "

 “Oh? Okay, let’s go.”

Zuo Zhong waved his hand, got in the car and drove to the Secret Service Area C. Naturally, he drove around the city a few times. Along the way, he was thinking about the last news Director Li said. The Japanese minister is coming?

Diplomatic relations between Japan and the Republic of China are very complicated. The highest diplomat in Japan currently stationed in China is the minister, not the ambassador. There is only one word difference between the two, but they have completely different meanings.

 Ambassador’s full name is Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, which is the highest-level diplomatic envoy. Minister’s full name is Minister Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, which is the second-level diplomatic envoy. Generally speaking, ambassadors are more noble.

Faced with weak countries, powerful countries only send ministers, not ambassadors. Therefore, from the previous dynasty to the Republic of China, most Western countries stationed in China had more ministers, but Japan not only followed suit, but was even more cunning.

Yoshiaki Yoshiaki, Japan’s current minister to China, also holds the title of ambassador. This is of course not to respect the Republic of China, but to take care of the sentiments of Yoshiaki, a veteran diplomat. He is called ambassador internally and minister externally.

 Zuo Zhong drove the car, recalling the information about Yoshiaki in his mind. He was a native of Kyoto Prefecture, Japan. He graduated from Tokyo Higher Business School. He passed the diplomat and consular officer exams in the same year and entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

 He successively served as a diplomat in Hankou, Incheon and various parts of Europe. In the early years of the Republic of China, he served as the Consul General in Shanghai for ten years, as the Minister to Switzerland in the 9th year of the Republic of China, and as the Ambassador to Brazil in the 15th year of the Republic of China.

In the 21st year of the Republic of China, he returned to the Republic of China as an ambassador and minister, and set up the embassy in Shanghai. He hung out in Shanghai all day long and became very familiar with the big shots in both black and white circles in the Republic of China.

This man has always advocated the amity between China and Japan, and he is very able to confuse the elites of the Republic of China who have illusions about Japan. Speaking of which, he is also a nobleman of Hase Ryosuke, whose predecessor was driven away by the other party.

Why would a person like him go to Jinling to attend the opening ceremony of the new Ministry of Foreign Affairs building without waiting for the glamorous world in Shanghai? Logically speaking, it would be enough for the Consul General in Nanjing to go there.

Zuo Zhong increased his vigilance. The Japanese would not do meaningless things. On January 28, there were Japanese diplomats stationed in Shanghai. Is it possible that Yuji Ming wanted to cause trouble in Jinling?

This possibility is very high. In the past two years, the Japanese in Shanghai failed in Jinling and suffered many mistakes. As the general person in charge of the Japanese intelligence forces in Shanghai, Yoshiaki cannot escape the blame.

If the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has KPIs, Ji Ming will definitely rank at the bottom. If he doesn't give it a try, he should return to Kyoto to retire. From this point of view, the possibility of the other party causing trouble in Jinling is very high.

The more Zuo Zhong thought about it, the more uneasy he became. He returned to the Secret Service and called Gu Qi. He was on duty again today. Since he came to the Secret Service, Gu Qi has regained his second youth and turned into a workaholic.

Gucci put on his coat and said sleepily: "Section Chief, what happened?"

He felt calm in his heart. Every time he was on duty, something would happen when the section chief went to eat. The Intelligence Section was becoming more and more evil. Maybe there was something wrong with the feng shui in the section, as Song Minghao said.

Zuo Zhong didn't know what he was thinking. He told him about Ji Ming's coming to Jinling, and also told his guess. Gu Qi suddenly woke up. It sounded like the person who came was not good.

He quickly asked: "What should I do? Should I report it to the director?"

"Don't be anxious, sit down first." Zuo Zhong sat on the stool: "The report is yes, but we need to think of a countermeasure. By the way, are there any abnormalities in the staff of the Special High School? Is everything normal at Nobita's place?"

Gu Qi thought for a while, shook his head affirmatively and said: "No, the personnel of the Extra High School in Jinling are under our surveillance. The brothers are very vigilant now. It is impossible for Du Laizi's incident to happen again.

Nobita has not been in contact recently, which is normal. The last time he contacted me, he said he was safe. I asked him not to act rashly unless there are special circumstances, let alone to take the initiative to obtain information. "

"That's good."

Zuo Zhong said something, lit a cigarette and thought about it. Ji Ming is a diplomat, and some methods cannot be used on him. Once discovered by the Japanese, it will give the other party an excuse.

Even the Intelligence Division cannot monitor him at close range. Who knows if the Japanese will set a trap. It is best to find someone to take the blame. If something goes wrong, you cannot blame the Secret Service or yourself. Who can you blame? After thinking for a long time, he raised his head and said: "Go to the Jinling Police Department and ask them to pay close attention to the whereabouts of Yuji Ming and his entourage that day. If we want to conduct surveillance with great fanfare, we must let the Japanese discover it."

"Is the section chief trying to alert the enemy?" Gu Qi suddenly realized that this was a good idea. The Japanese knew they were being watched, so they would at least restrain their movements and not make Jinling chickens and dogs restless.

He nodded immediately: "Okay, I will make arrangements at dawn. The police can also move easily in the name of protection, so should we send someone to take a look, or sneak into the police team to monitor."

Zuo Zhong sneered: "Of course we have to send people to keep an eye on it, but don't use Corey's people this time. The Japanese will definitely take the opportunity to collect information on intelligence personnel. Our people must not reveal their identities."

Gu Qi asked: "Let the Action Department go?"

"Of course not." Zuo Zhong said with a slight smile: "They will also perform field work in the future. It is also dangerous to reveal their identity. You can find some Chinese tunic suits and send them to the master chefs in the cafeteria."

 “What! Canteen Master??”

Gu Qi was dumbfounded. What on earth was the section chief thinking? The master chef in the cafeteria said they were from the Secret Service, but they didn't know intelligence skills or operational skills, so what's the use of going there.

Zuo Zhong clapped his hands: "Yes, just let them go. It's just for the Japanese to see anyway, and we don't expect to get any information. They have been here for so long, so they pretend to have a three-dimensional image."

"This." Gu Qi said with some uncertainty: "The brothers usually go in and out. They must be familiar with everyone's words and deeds. It should be no problem to disguise themselves from a distance."

"That's enough. There are people from the police station for personal protection inside and intelligence personnel monitoring outside. The Japanese have scruples when doing things. They just need to send Yuji Ming away." Zuo Zhong made a decision.

 Gu Qi had to admit that the section chief's idea sounded a bit unreliable at first, but after thinking about it carefully, there was no more suitable candidate than the canteen master chef.

  After all, they don’t have to go out to work, and it doesn’t matter if the Japanese took photos. At the same time, the identities of these people have been investigated many times, and their backgrounds are very reliable.

Finally, the masters are fat and strong, and they look quite imposing after putting on their Chinese tunic suits. They can indeed intimidate the Japanese who don’t know the situation in the Secret Service.

No one in the Secret Service dared to turn a deaf ear to Zuo Zhong’s words. When the New General Affairs Section heard that Section Chief Zuo was borrowing people, he borrowed two ladle-shakers and four dice-cutters without saying a word, forming a six-person team.

They put on Chinese tunic suits and walked around the place, frightening the agents who didn't know the situation. They thought these people were usually lurking in the canteen, and they all recalled whether they had said anything inappropriate.

Coupled with a few old pistols without bullets, the special task force of the Secret Service was completed. Zuo Zhong went to check it out. Yes, it looked decent, but it smelled like green onion.

 “Lao Gu, let them not get close to the Japanese, otherwise it will be easy for them to gang up.”

 “Yes, section chief.”

After finishing speaking, Zuo Zhong put his hands on his hips and looked at the group of cooks who were walking happily and showed a satisfied smile. When the Japanese saw these people, they should be able to see traces of military training.

In addition to the cook, Gu Qi also contacted the Jinling Police Department. Bai Wenzhi heard that the Japanese minister was coming to Jinling and heard about the problems, so he promised to send enough people for protection.

It is worth mentioning that he followed the path of Section Chief Yang's boss, and finally his wife for many years became a mother-in-law and took over as the chief of the Jinling Police Department. It is quite unlucky for a new officer to encounter this when he takes office.

The top security officer in the capital has a lot of money and a lot of risks. If the Japanese cause trouble, he will be the first to suffer. His predecessor, Lao Wen, was frightened to death by the complicated security situation.

Wish him good luck, Zuo Zhong smacked his lips. He is a dead Taoist friend but not a poor Taoist. He has already reminded him that if something happens again, it will be his life. At worst, be polite when you arrest him.

A few days later, there were loud gongs and drums and firecrackers blasting in front of the new Ministry of Foreign Affairs building.

 Officials of all sizes, diplomats from embassies and consulates across the country, journalists and Jinling celebrities gathered together to witness the opening of the building.

Among these people, the most eye-catching one is the Japanese Minister to China, Ari Yoshiaki. He is the only minister-level diplomat present today, and he is also a Japanese diplomat who was at war with the Republic of China.

 So reporters and diplomats from other countries were very curious and interviewed and tested him after the opening ceremony. Jimin didn't say much, just said a few diplomatic words and left.

 However, in the evening, an explosive news spread that a Japanese diplomat disappeared in Jinling!
