Cicada Moving

Chapter 34 Suspicious

Zuo Zhong felt that he needed to figure out one thing first, who was responsible for Li Shudong's case.

This person should be a Japanese spy lurking in the secret service headquarters. At least this person is very close to the spy. However, why he stopped halfway through the pursuit and whether there are other reasons is unknown.

Zuo Zhong quietly came to Song Minghao to give some instructions. An old man like him had a way to get information everywhere.

As expected, Song Minghao reported to Zuo Zhong within two days: "Section Chief, Li Shudong's case was solved by Wang Aofu, deputy chief of the training section."

Zuo Zhong had never heard of this person: "What is this person's condition? Do you have any detailed information?"

Song Minghao was indeed a know-it-all and immediately replied: "Wang Aofu is also known as Wang Jeff. He is from the Northeast. He is thirty-five years old. After graduating from Peking University, he studied religious philosophy for a period of time. He once purged progressive people in the military. He is an old man. , won the favor of Xu Enzeng.”

Hunter, Zuo Zhong secretly cursed in his mind. The gangsters are not scary, but they are afraid of the gangsters being educated. A top university student studies religion and philosophy, so he is not an easy character to deal with.

“Section Chief, this person is known as an expert in anti-underground party. His subordinates are all traitors from the underground party. I don’t know why he targeted Li Shudong this time.” After Song Minghao finished speaking, he felt a little strange.

“Who initiated this investigation, Wang Aofu?” Zuo Zhong decided to ask first.

"No, it was an operations officer named Chen Jianzhong under him. If the shooting case in Jinling City was solved, he would have done a lot of credit." Song Minghao handled the matter very properly and understood all aspects.

Zuo Zhong thought to himself that this was more or less the same. No matter how useless the secret service headquarters was, a section chief-level figure would not be a Japanese spy. But after thinking about it carefully, Zuo Zhong was not sure.

Even the secretary to the director is an underground party, and it makes sense to have a Japanese spy chief. It is a dilemma whether to investigate Wang Aofu or Chen Jianzhong.

Looking at Zuo Zhong's silence, Song Minghao hesitated and said: "Section Chief, the first branch is internal, and our second branch is also within their scope of work. According to the rules, we cannot investigate one branch."

"It's okay. You call Gui Youguang and Wu Chunyang to come in. Old Song will take credit for this incident." Zuo Zhong sent Song Minghao away and decided to send someone to find out the details of Chen Jianzhong.

As for the rules, the rules are as bad as the other. If a problem is found in one of them, it will be too late for Dai Chunfeng to be happy, so how can he blame Zuo Zhong.

Zuo Zhong thought about it and decided to investigate Chen Jianzhong first, not only because he proposed to investigate the shooting case, but also because Wang Aofu's identity was indeed a bit sensitive.

As for the anti-underground party expert, if you check him directly, will it make people think that you are avenging the underground party? He is a spy with a dirty heart, so Zuo Zhong feels that he has to keep a steady hand.

Gui Youguang and Wu Chunyang came here sweating profusely. The two of them have a good relationship now and practice marksmanship and fighting together. It is estimated that when Song Minghao went to notify them, the two of them were training together again.

He Yijun came in and poured two glasses of water, and the two quickly thanked him. They couldn't figure out the relationship between Miss He and the section chief, so they were careful not to make any big mistakes.

Zuo Zhong watched them finish drinking and then said: "Youguang, Chunyang, you go and investigate a person, Chen Jianzhong from the Training Section of the Special Agent Headquarters, and find out all the information about this person, as well as his activities during this period."

"yes!"

Watching the two people leave, he lit a cigarette and reviewed the events of the past few days. Suddenly he thought of one thing. Did the two people from the Jinling Police Department forget to say something.

 Li Shudong’s attitude towards pleading guilty was good. According to him, he and Director Wen Jiangang and Deputy Director Bai Wenzhi were innocent and had no other involvement except simple money transactions.

Did these two people get caught in the wind and think they were fine? Zuo Zhong was so angry that they had the people and the confession in their hands. They really thought that they were monks eating fast and chanting Buddha's name.

Thinking of this, Zuo Zhong answered the phone of the police department and found Bai Wenzhi.

“Director Bai, the matter about Li Shudong has been found out. He is indeed a Japanese spy. He has leaked a lot of secrets. Too many people know about this, and it is difficult for my brother to cover it up.”

Zuo Zhong was too lazy to beat around the bush and told Bai Wenzhi clearly: I, Zuo Zhong, want to pay.

“Well, it’s good if we find out. Director Wen and I can rest assured. We will definitely treat Section Chief Zuo to a banquet if we have the opportunity.”

Bai Wenzhi hesitated and walked around in circles. It seemed that he really planned to default on the debt. Wang Badan almost knelt down when he begged for help. Now he knew that he had nothing serious to do, so he became emboldened.

Zuo Zhong suppressed his anger: "Director Bai, it seems that the noble man forgets things a lot. It doesn't matter. I have to interrogate Li Shudong later. I will report any new news in a timely manner." Then he hung up the phone.

He Yijun looked on and wanted to laugh. This was the first time he saw Zuo Zhong looking deflated and angry, so he made him a cup of green tea to relieve his anger.

“Brother Zuo, how are you going to deal with Director Bai? I heard Wu Chunyang say that he used a gun to scare you.” He Yijun was curious about how Zuo Zhong would deal with it.

Zuo Zhong saw that the little girl was gloating about her misfortune and did not answer. He thought that Bai Wenzhi was really a fool. Zuo Zhong wondered if he was hiding this from Wen Jiangang.

 Wen Jiangang is a veteran in official career and should know the rules of officialdom. You may not agree at the time, but you cannot regret it if you agree. Otherwise, the officialdom of the Republic of China will be in chaos. This is a violation of the rules.

“Okay, okay, brother Zuo, just tell me.” He Yijun was really curious.

“Believe it or not, Director Wen Jiangang of the Police Department will call me later and bet on a Western meal.” Zuo Zhong closed his eyes and pinched his fingers, like a blind fortune teller on the street. He Yijun didn't believe it. The conversation had just broken down, and it was too late for him to hide. How could he take the initiative to call me?

 “Okay, I’ll bet with you.”

"Jingle Bell."

　　The phone rang, Zuo Zhong glanced at the dumbfounded He Yijun, and was not in a hurry to answer the call. He waited until the phone rang several times before slowly answering the call.

 “Hello, who are you?”

“This is Section Chief Zuo, hello, I’m Lao Wen Wen Jiangang.”

"Oh, what's the matter? I'm about to interrogate Li Shudong. Maybe there will be something new."

“Chief Zuo, please forgive that idiot Bai Wenzhi one more time. We’ll have to go to Helou tonight. Lao Bai and I will thank you very much and please give me your reward.”

Zuo Zhong didn’t eat the Western meal after all, so He Yijun could only let He Yijun settle the matter.

 After all, Director Wen was so enthusiastic. Not only did he eat delicacies from mountains and seas, but he also gave away local specialties.

  It doesn’t matter what the left is about local specialties. The important thing is to give the party and state heroes a chance to change their ways. The Jinling Police Department failed in its management but dealt with it decisively, and the Li Shudong case passed like this.

Besides, Gui Youguang and Wu Chunyang immediately conducted reconnaissance after receiving the order. They all knew Zuo Zhong's ability. How many people had been arrested and how many cases had been solved by Zuo Zhong when he came to the Secret Service. No one would think that he had too much credit.

Let alone the people who investigated the first branch. This time, everyone in the Secret Service was simmering with anger because they were trying to take credit. The two led a team to follow him day and night. They also verified Chen Jianzhong through other connections and quickly figured out the details of Chen Jianzhong.

“Chen Jianzhong, operations officer of the secret service headquarters, 21 years old, from Shaanxi. He is a member of the Shaanxi underground party. After his arrest this year, he repeatedly sabotaged the underground party’s party organizations in Chang’an and Shaanxi.”

Zuo Zhong looked at the information in his hand and was confused. Is this person a traitor to the underground party? Are you still colluding with the Japanese? Underground party, one, Japanese, is it a three-faced spy?

But if you think about it, you will understand that this person has no backbone or belief at all. He is a pure speculator. He will follow whoever offers him good conditions. It is not surprising that he colludes with the Japanese.

Zuo Zhong asked: “Have you investigated this person’s whereabouts before and after the shooting?”

"After the shooting, this person led a team to investigate the Jinling Police Department and sub-stations, and quickly targeted Li Shudong. Later, the investigation was temporarily suspended due to other cases." This is the answer of Gui Youguang, who is responsible for an internal investigation investigation.

"I followed him for a few days and found that he was following a battalion commander of the 16th Division. I don't know what he was doing." Wu Chunyang was responsible for the personal investigation and reported back his findings.

Zuo Zhong frowned: "Batalion Commander? Do you know your specific identity?"

Wu Chunyang said with a smile: "Section chief, do you remember Gu Lan? That boy Chen Jianzhong is following Gu Lan's husband, Xie Jiuwen, the battalion commander of the 16th Division."

Zuo Zhong's heart skipped a beat. He had previously guessed that Gu Lan and his wife were underground party members.

 Could it be that they were exposed, so the First Division sent the traitor Chen Jianzhong to investigate, allowing him to capture Li Shudong first?

Thinking about it, it was very likely that this was the case. Zuo Zhong couldn’t laugh or cry. It was possible that the underground party had helped him once. Chen Jianzhong’s identity was questionable. It would be troublesome if he was allowed to mix with the higher-ups in the same place.

Zuo Zhong glanced at Wu Chunyang: "What, is there any problem with Xie Jiuwen? Underground party or other aspects?"

Wu Chunyang was also puzzled: "There is no problem. I go to work and get off work, and socialize normally. Why hasn't he found out why he hasn't been investigated by the Office?"

Zuo Zhong decided not to let go of the **** Chen Jianzhong. Regardless of whether he was a Japanese spy or not, this person had to be eliminated as soon as possible. It was too dangerous for him to bite Gu Lan and Xie Jiuwen.

Zuo Shige said to the two of them: "You know what Nagano Soichi said. He said that there is a Japanese spy in our intelligence agency. I guess this person is Chen Jianzhong. What do you think?"

"It's very possible that Nagano Soichi said that their arrest was a ruse. It's very suspicious for Yichichi to check on Li Shudong for no reason, and Chen Jianzhong is the most suspicious." Wu Chunyang expressed his thoughts.

The violent maniac Gui Youguang was much more straightforward: "Section Chief, just arrest him if you want. He is a small person, and there are many ways to deal with him."

He arrested Li Shudong and Nagano Soichi before they were executed, which made him a little disappointed. It would be better to arrest them earlier.

Zuo Zhong ordered: "Then arrest him secretly and bring him directly to the office."

One more minute this guy stays outside will be one more minute of threat to the underground party, and the traitors must not be let go.
