Cicada Moving

 Chapter 748: Harmony

 Six fifty in the morning.

The sun crossed the horizon on time, and the warm sunshine swept away the darkness and cold. The Secret Service was filled with sirens and calls for mercy.

　　One by one, the gangsters were pulled out of the car. The arrogance of the past no longer existed. They desperately begged and intimidated the secret agents to let them go.

Signing up in the background, exposing one's family background, saying harsh words, and all kinds of tricks are used frequently, but it is of no use. What the Secret Service wants is not money, but their lives.

 In the office of the Deputy Director.

Zuo Zhong took off his coat and put it on the hanger, walked slowly to the desk and sat down, poured a cup of hot tea, held it in his hand and fell into deep thought.

 When he returned to the dormitory in B last night, he was going to report to Dai Chunfeng, but his cheap teacher was not big-minded.

If the other party knew that he had returned to Jinling and would not visit him, he might feel alienated and cause unnecessary trouble to himself.

 But the result surprised him. Dai Chunfeng was not in Jinling. According to the servant, his master had been to Chang'an for several days.

The problem is that soon the Marshal and General Yang will launch the mutiny that shocks the world to force the bald heads to unite with the underground party to resist Japan.

 History has changed here. Lao Dai should have been in Jinling during the mutiny, instead of playing hide-and-seek with the Northeastern Army in Lishan with Bald Tou.

 Could it be the butterfly effect?

 This is trouble.

 Lao Dai is afraid it will be cold!

 One of the most important tasks of the Military Section of the Intelligence Section of the Secret Service is to infiltrate, bribe, and eavesdrop on local warlord troops who are not directly affiliated with them.

Every move of relevant personnel is under surveillance to prevent them from harming the government, and the Northeastern Army is a key target.

Under Bald Head's instruction, in order to fully grasp the dynamics of the Northeast Army, Lao Dai sent many eyes and ears to surround the young marshal and General Yang.

 When the Northeast Army entered Shaanxi, the Northwest Army looked at the Northeast Army coldly. There were frequent frictions between the two sides, and the two armies got along very unhappy.

This is exactly what Dai Chunfeng hopes to see. He has repeatedly asked the Intelligence Section to expand the conflicts between the two sides so that Baldhead can better control the Northeast Army.

During the conflict, both sides suffered a large number of casualties. Zuo Zhong could not stop this kind of thing and could only report it to the underground party through Lao K.

The matter was exposed immediately. The young marshal discovered the surveillance of the Secret Service and the massive infiltration of the department, and hated Lao Dai deeply.

However, the young marshal also knew who the real person behind the scenes was, so he adopted a patient attitude until something happened.

 Some time ago, the eager Xu Enzeng and the secret service headquarters arrested the young marshal's cronies without notice.

He also arrested several student leaders from Northeastern University, which made the young marshal very angry. In anger, he ordered people to raid the Shaanxi Provincial Party Headquarters of the Guo Party.

The soldiers performing the mission beat up a spy in one location and burned the intelligence collected by the other party about the Northeastern Army.

Although Xu Enzeng, a big enemy, took the initiative to attract hatred, it would still be a disaster if Lao Dai fell into the hands of the young marshal.

no,

 Can't sit back and watch Dai Chunfeng die.

Thinking of Zuo Zhong's serious expression, he was his dearest teacher no matter what. As a student, he always had to do something.

Having made up his mind, he seriously picked up the phone and asked for a number. When the call was connected, his face changed and he said respectfully.

 “Hello, is it sir?”

“Yes, yes, yes, I am cautious.”

 “Yes, just came back from Germany.”

 “How are you feeling?”

After chatting with Zhu Jiahua, the old principal of the Zhejiang Police School, for a long time, Zuo Zhong hung up the phone, smiled, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

 Fortunately, I have two teachers. If one dies, there will be a replacement. This shows how important it is to have a backup plan.

The refreshed Zuo Zhong looked at the time and found that the time for the closed-door meeting of the Secret Service, the City Defense Headquarters and the Police Department was approaching.

He went out and asked Gu Qi to take a ride to the venue. He said that he hadn’t seen Lao Bai for a long time and really missed this guy’s local specialties.

When passing the gate of the Secret Service, the two happened to see a gangster kneeling down begging for mercy. Zuo Zhong smiled coldly and closed the blinds.

at the same time,

 The Jinling Police Department is a few kilometers away.

 Bai Wenzhi, who didn't know that someone had returned, sat in the middle of the podium in the auditorium, looking at his subordinates in the audience, feeling very proud.

The days without Smiling Tiger are so wonderful. He controls the Jinling police system and has money, beauty, and power.

Whether he is the director of the National Government or an officer of the Military Commission, no matter who sees him, he must call him Director Bai.

Those gangsters treated him as an ancestor and worshiped him. As long as he spoke, he would have lots of money delivered to his door.

Not only that, the leader of the Jinfeng Gang, who specializes in smuggling cigarettes, that little girl looks like~ Hey, I just had to have wild thoughts for a while.

 “Puff-puff~buzz~”

The sharp sound of electricity suddenly sounded, startling everyone. Bai Wenzhi took a sideways look and found that Gu Jichang was adjusting the microphone.

He quickly turned his head. The other person was the Jinling City Defense Commander, who was deeply trusted by the leader. He, the police chief, was not someone he could offend.

At this moment, the door of the auditorium was pushed open forcefully, and someone strode in with a briefcase under his arm and kept apologizing.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has complicated official duties, and my brother is late. Commander Gu and Director White must not mind.”

“It turns out to be Director Yang. I haven’t seen you much lately.” Bai Wenzhi smiled broadly, extended his right hand enthusiastically, and shook hands with the other person.

 “Deputy Director, is the deputy director.”

 The visitor grabbed his hand and emphasized it seriously. The other person was Yang Wei who had once inspected the drug store with Zuo Zhong and Bai Wenzhi.

Even Bai Wenzhi's position as director of the department was obtained by asking this person to get through to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He was considered a well-versed person in Jinling.

The Police Department is under the Ministry of the Interior. As the deputy director of the General Affairs Department, Yang Wei should be attending the meeting today on behalf of a senior official.

 “Hahaha, the same.”

 Bai Wenzhi laughed and led the other party to the rostrum to take a seat, and then asked Gu Jichang, who often cosplayed with a bald head, whether to start the meeting.

As for the people from the Secret Service, bah, those bad agents are nothing. The presence of three of them is enough to decide the direction of the case.

This matter cannot be delayed any longer. Many officials called and asked them to close the case as soon as possible, and Dai Chunfeng's people cannot be allowed to dig deeper.

I am afraid that if we dig further, we will dig into the foundation of the party-state. By then, it will not be as simple as killing a few spies. We must stop here.

　To use the original words of one of the big shots: We don’t live in a vacuum. We all have relatives and friends, and we all have helpless things.

Not to mention the family, the country, and the world. Only by improving family relations can we serve the country better. There is no need to hold on to some small mistakes.

This statement makes sense.

No one has a bad time.

They are all like the Secret Service and have no respect for the world. They do not want to cause chaos in the world. It is also a national consideration for them to close the case as soon as possible.

 Bai Wenzhi suddenly felt that he had become more powerful, and then he coughed lightly and looked at the participants with sharp eyes.

“Everyone knows the reason for convening today’s meeting, so I’ll talk a few words first, which is just to introduce some ideas. What do you think, Commander Gu?”

 After speaking, he turned to look at Gu Jichang. Seeing that the other party did not object, he moved the microphone in front of him and spoke.

“It has been some time since the attack on an official of the Secret Service by unknown persons, and there are many opinions and widespread rumors.

From my point of view, this is an ordinary criminal case. Those agents have offended many people, so there is no guarantee that the murderer is not seeking revenge.

Or it could be an act of retaliation by the Japanese intelligence agencies and underground parties, which just happened to happen during the Secret Service's investigation of smuggling activities.

For the purpose of stabilizing people's hearts, I personally believe that the investigation should be done quickly rather than slowly, so as to minimize the negative impact of this case.

In the Secret Service, the dead are given more pensions, and the living are given merit awards. Do you think what Bai said makes sense? "

 “Yes, just seeking revenge.”

"I think it will work." "Yes, there is no way to solve the case without death."

Everyone present agreed. They were all in the same boat. Naturally, they didn’t want the boat to sink. How could they have different opinions?

 Gu Jichang, who was watching the show on the sidelines, said nothing. Although he was not involved in the smuggling case, there were subordinates and friends who were involved in the smuggling case.

In this case, let’s just close the case. Besides, who knows whether the higher-ups will be implicated in the end, so it’s right to protect yourself.

Yang Wei shook his head slightly, feeling that Lao Bai was a little complacent now. Are you the one who can make the final decision on the affairs of the Secret Service?

Even if someone wants to close the case, you have to be tactful and rush to the front like this. No wonder you are still a department director after so many years.

If they offend Dai Chunfeng or Zuo Zhong, they will be labeled as colluding with the Japanese and the underground party at any time and thrown into Laohuqiao Prison.

So after thinking twice, he simply shut his mouth tightly and remained silent. No matter what other people chose, he just didn't express his opinion.

 “Director, it’s bad!”

At this time, a policeman rushed to Bai Wenzhi, put his ear next to him and said something unknown, and Bai Wenzhi slapped the table.

"How brave. Who dares to arrest my good friend privately without even saying hello? This is because he doesn't take Mr. Bai seriously."

Hurry up and bring a team of armed patrols over there. You must bring the person back safely, otherwise I will kill you. Do you hear me? "

Bai Wenzhi was furious. It turned out that the Jinfeng Gang called the police, saying that a group of people calling themselves the Police Department had arrested their gang leader.

It's really like hell. Without his order, not a single soldier from the Jinling Police Department could move. The other party must be a bandit who pretended to kidnap someone.

After thinking about it, he felt that the arrangement just now was not safe enough, so he told his subordinates who came to report that if the other party resisted, they would kill him without mercy.

He finally staged a heroic rescue of a beautiful woman. He can only succeed but cannot fail. This is related to whether he can have a happy relationship.

While Bai Wenzhi was daydreaming, a familiar voice came from the door, which immediately frightened Director Bai to the point where he sat on the ground.

 “Lao Bai, you have such great authority.”

Zuo Zhong walked into the auditorium with Gu Qi, ignoring the lost Bai Wenzhi, scanning the venue with his eyes, and said with a cold snort.

“The meeting was held without everyone present. Do you think the Secret Service and I, Zuo Zhong, are easy to bully? Don’t forget that the Secret Service took the lead on this case.

Furthermore, I have received information that the murderer who attacked our staff is related to the underground party. Anyone who obstructs the handling of the case is colluding with the underground party.

Those who just agreed to close the case come out. Don't worry. I will handle it impartially and will never let a good person go. Oh no, a bad person. "

Facing the threat of Chi Guoguo, those who knew the name of Smiling Tiger quickly lowered their heads, secretly cursing the **** named Bai for causing great harm to others.

 “Director Zuo Zuo, I.”

 Bai Wenzhi, who had turned into a reptile, opened his mouth to explain, but couldn't say anything. He still had the prestige before.

“Director Bai, there’s no need to say anything else. Let’s wait until we get to the interrogation room to say some things. Everything you say now will become evidence in court.”

Zuo Zhong waved his hand, this time he had to let the other party know that not everyone could get involved in some things, and then looked at Gu Jichang.

“Commander Gu, this junior has prepared a good show at the Secret Service. The plot is very exciting. Would you like to take the big guys to watch it together?”

"oh?"

 Gu Jichang raised his eyebrows when he heard this, stood up from his seat, flicked the non-existent dust on his collar badge, and replied in a leisurely manner.

“Gu loves going to the theater most in his life. Let’s go. But Director Zuo, I want to remind you as someone who has been through this. You must be merciful and merciful.

 Colleagues must regard harmony as the most important thing and keep it to an end. Otherwise, both sides will suffer losses and only others will take advantage. Nothing in the world is better than this. "

Is this old guy warning himself?

 Bah!

Even the dry bones in the grave dare to talk.

If Zuo Chong remembers correctly, after the major incident in Chang'an, this man and Minister He asked for troops to be sent to "rescue" the bald head.

To do this when sending troops is equivalent to sending out a funeral. It is not difficult to guess what the two of them had in mind. No one is a fool.

 So after Baldhead came back, he immediately drove Gu Jichang out of Jinling. There is nothing to be afraid of a fool like this whose political life is on the decline.

Zuo Zhong watched quietly as the other party led the people out of the auditorium. He nodded to his old friend, Deputy Director Yang, and the two of them followed him calmly.

Bai Wenzhi, who was originally a cocoon on the ground, rolled his eyes secretly behind him when he saw this, trying to see if he had any chance of rescuing him.

  Half an hour later,

 Special Service.

Gu Jichang stood in the courtyard with a group of officials, big and small, looking at the gang members kneeling on the ground with doubts on their faces as to what they were going to do.

Gui Youguang, who was in charge of temporary custody, regardless of their reactions, walked up to Zuo Zhong, stood at attention, saluted, and solemnly reported the report.

“Report to the deputy director that all smugglers suspected of having illicit connections with underground parties and who are also involved in murder cases have been identified and can be executed.”

 Execution?

　　What kind of punishment will be carried out?

Everyone looked at the three or four hundred people in the courtyard with their mouths open, and then looked at Zuo Zhong who was as if nothing had happened. They couldn't believe their ears.

Zuo Zhong raised his hand in return, and then Shi Shiran walked up to a crying woman, pulled out a pistol and put it against her head.

The woman was so frightened that she peed like urine. In her panic, she saw the sneaky Bai Wenzhi in the distance. She yelled for help with all her strength.

 “Director Bai, Lao Bai, save me!”

Bai Wenzhi immediately jumped up, pointed at her and cursed: "I don't know you, don't talk nonsense, or I will tear your mouth open."

You **** underground party, everyone can punish you. Even if Director Zuo doesn't kill you today, I will do it sooner or later. "

hehe.

 It was indeed a good show.

Zuo Chong glanced at Lao Bai with a smile, and without blinking he pulled the trigger. After a crisp gunshot, the body fell down.

This was just the beginning. The gun in his hand rang out again and again, and the blood of the gangsters who were running rampant in Jinling City was splattered on the spot.

Not only him, in addition to Gu Qi, the gun of kindness, Gui Youguang and others also took out their guns and began to execute the prisoners, with blood splattering everywhere.

The onlookers around were horrified. Many people bent down and vomited. Even the old man Wu Guji Chang turned his head and couldn't bear to look directly.

The gunshots rang out for a full half hour, and then soldiers checked to see if any fish had slipped through the net. Only occasional groans were heard from the scene.

 “Clean up, give the ground a good flush.”

Zuo Zhong wiped his hands with a handkerchief, frowned and told Gu Qi, when the frightened guest realized that it was finally over.

 In the end, before they could take a breath, the murderer in their eyes spoke again: "Everyone, I will give you one day to let the murderer surrender.

 If you don’t come, I will kill all these smugglers’ subordinates who are connected to the underground party, and take over all the docks and warehouses in Jinling. Do you understand?

Some people want to do business, no problem. Now the country needs wealth. As long as there is no trouble or espionage, the Secret Service will not care about it. "

 The black market cannot be banned.

 Where there is demand, there will be a market.

Zuo Zhong understands this. The problem is that some rules cannot be broken. Whoever breaks the rules will be beaten. If you can't find someone, don't blame him for flipping the table.

Others who want to make money must either resist or betray their peers. These guys who are smarter than monkeys should know how to choose.

Sure enough, as soon as this statement came out, the originally sullen officials immediately patted their chests and promised that they would immediately have people investigate the whereabouts of the murderer.

The pillar of the party and the country! Zuo Zhong held back his laughter and chatted with his new friends in a humble manner. The whole place was harmonious.

“Report, urgent call from Chang’an Station!”

In this weird atmosphere, the head of the telecommunications section came in person with a telegram, looking a little panicked and his hands trembling.

Zuo Zhong's heart suddenly moved. It must have happened earlier. He quickly grabbed the message and walked aside. After reading it, his mouth opened wide.
