Chapter 839: The Art of Shifting the Blame (Necessary Preparation for the Subsequent Plot)

 “Bang bang bang~”

 “Ah!! Spare your life!”

During the cold winter in Changcheng, a ray of sunlight suddenly shone through the low clouds and shone into the house. The gunpowder smoke drifted freely under the Tyndall effect. Xu Enzeng, who was unharmed, sat on the ground and wailed.

Three bomb craters were evenly distributed around him. In full view of everyone, it was indeed impossible for Zuo Zhong to directly kill the person in charge of the secret service headquarters, but there was still no problem in giving him a scare.

Today's incident is, in a minor sense, a fight between two secret service agencies. In a major sense, the other party's behavior has seriously affected the Secret Service's plan to respond to the frontal battlefield, and is suspected of delaying the war effort.

Therefore, it is not too much to teach him a lesson, not to mention that it is a great hatred to ruin someone's future. Zuo Chong did not kill Xu Enzeng on the spot, which can be regarded as restraint and awareness of the overall situation.

Everyone in the Secret Service present looked at the ugly Xu Enzeng with ridicule. It must be said that it is sad that such a person can become the director.

Zuo Zhong took back his gun, looked at Cai Dantian who was calm and composed at the side, and asked coldly: "What is your name? What did you just see?"

 “No! I didn’t see anything.”

Cai Dongtian shook his head seriously and introduced himself: "Sir Zuo, my humble name is Cai Dongtian. His public identity is the deputy director of the Inspection Division of the Jiangcheng Police Headquarters. In fact, he is the special commissioner of the Secret Service Headquarters in Jiangcheng.

I received intelligence a few days ago that there are a large number of dissidents hiding in the industrial zone. This trip is to accompany Director Xu on the mission of arresting the underground party. We have no intention of sabotaging your operations. Please be clear and considerate. . "

 “Cai Yantian? Do you know me?”

Zuo Chong raised his eyebrows. His reputation had spread to Qiancheng. Even the deputy director of the small inspection department knew that he was Zuo.

But why did this name sound so familiar? He quickly recalled it in his mind, and soon thought of the case of Gu, a traitor from the red team. It seemed that this person was responsible for the investigation.

Cai Yantian, who was opposite, was stunned when he heard this question. He didn't know how to respond. He couldn't tell the fact that the Secret Service Headquarters was collecting high-level intelligence from the Secret Service. That would really cost someone's life.

Although Zuo Zhong is the deputy director, he is also the deputy director, but the deputy director is different from the deputy director. Killing him is like killing a chicken, without any reason at all.

At this time, Gu Qi, who was standing nearby watching the play, glanced at Cai Tantian, quietly leaned into Zuo Zhong's ear, and introduced the other party's specific information. He was working in the Camp Investigation Section when he was taking care of the case and knew something about it.

 Cai Tongtian, born in 1905, was born in Lu County, Ping City, Gan Province. He graduated from the Department of Economics of Daocheng University and was a postgraduate student at Keio University and Tokyo University Graduate School in Japan. After returning to China, he joined the Secret Service Headquarters, which was still called the Party Affairs Investigation Section at that time.

The other party entered the secret intelligence department like a fish in water. With his diploma and superb skills, he rose through the ranks and quickly became the director of the Jicheng Police Station, holding great power.

It is said that this man brought Cai Kantian to Bald Head's mansion when Gu was attending the case. Bald Head ignored Gu and shook hands with Cai Kantian first, praising Cai Kantian for his hard work and how well he did. For a time, he was in the limelight and was promoted to a noble rank.

Zuo Zhong sneered after hearing this and snorted coldly at Cai Dantian. This rumor must have been spread by the other party in order to take credit for himself. This guy is so brave and dares to arrange a bald head.

He knew the bald man's style. Even if he was optimistic about someone, he would not say such straightforward words of appreciation. Besides, Cai Chantian didn't even have a letter from Mr. Zeng, so he was nothing like a close confidant.

Thinking of the two pamphlets that the bald man had admired in his office, Zuo Zhong felt even worse. He repeated the question he just asked: "Why didn't you answer what I asked you?"

Cai Wantian's mind changed quickly, and he immediately replied respectfully: "Sir Zuo is famous and prestigious, and I have been longing for him for a long time. I am so lucky to see him today that I am overjoyed. I can't help but be rude. I hope you will forgive me."

 As expected of someone who has read the book, what he says sounds good.

Zuo Zhong's expression softened slightly. He bent down to help Xu Enzeng, who was dripping from his pants, and turned to give instructions to Cai Dantian.

"Well, let's take our Director Xu with you. If you take any action in the future, you must report and file it to the bureau headquarters and the attendant's office. There is no rule without rules. I don't need to explain this truth."

 “Understood, I resign from my humble position.”

Confirmed that he had escaped, Cai Dongtian felt like he had been granted amnesty, and left in embarrassment with the trembling Xu Enzeng. The two walked slowly at first, then faster and faster, and finally ran away and disappeared on the streets of Hanyang.

The fighting outside has also ended. Facing the dark muzzle of the Secret Service's guns, the staff of the Secret Service headquarters squatted on the ground obediently, holding their heads in their hands, not daring to move. They witnessed the two officers fleeing with their own eyes.

No one knows how they are feeling at this moment, and they probably feel uncomfortable, especially after seeing Zuo Zhong, the chief of the Secret Service, coming out to cordially express condolences to the wounded and arranging for rescue, the look of resentment in their eyes can no longer be concealed.

“Deputy Director, how should I report this matter?”

Looking at the scene littered with casualties, Gu Qi looked troubled. In today's battle, the Secret Service lost five or six people, and there were countless serious and minor injuries. It can be called the heaviest casualty since its establishment.

 Fortunately, most of the victims were newcomers added in the past two years. Wu Chunyang and others were safe and sound, and the elderly suffered very little losses. Overall, they were not injured and had little impact on the combat effectiveness.

It was miserable over there at the secret service headquarters. There was a long line of corpses. According to preliminary statistics, nearly thirty or forty people were killed, and dozens of people were seriously injured. The least number of people were minor injuries.

This is not surprising, that is because the Secret Service personnel always rush to the vital points, and they will never be seriously injured if they can kill him. This saves Xu Enzeng's medical expenses.

As for pensions, Xu En strengthened the system and withheld 10% of the monthly salary of all agents, causing the mutual aid fund to go bankrupt for several years. No one knows where the money went.

Thinking of this, Zuo Zhong smiled and did not answer. He handed the matter over to everyone and asked them to express their thoughts. It was a different kind of assessment.

After all, if you want to work in the government, you must not only be able to solve crimes, but also understand politics. He does not want his subordinates to be fools who only know how to do things. So everyone expressed their opinions one by one. Most people thought that the responsibility should be placed on Xu Enzeng. In fact, this is indeed the responsibility of the other party.

Wu Jingzhong was even more indignant and expressed that he should not have let him go just now, but should have arrested him and handed him over to the bureau headquarters to prevent Xu Enzeng from sabotaging the operation next time.

Zuo Zhong shook his head slightly and gave him an example with a hint of meaning: "Old Wu, suppose you go to work at the local station and have two subordinates, A and B. A is your confidant, and B can be a business master. Individuals fight against each other.

One day, B caught evidence that A had embezzled money and violated the law. He knew that the head of another department, C, was an accomplice of A, but during the arrest, he and the other party jumped off the building and died together. Let me ask you, how do you write this report? ? "

Wu Jingzhong was stunned. To be honest, it would inevitably affect him. If there was a problem with his close associates, his boss would definitely be to blame.

However, favoring A would give the opponent a handle and was inappropriate. This was a dilemma. He couldn't help frowning and feeling a little hesitant.

 “Haha, you are just too honest.”

Zuo Zhong laughed when he saw this, patted the other party's shoulder meaningfully and said, "How about I help you draft a message? Just listen to it, and then think about today's exchange of fire."

As he spoke, without waiting for Wu Jingzhong's reply, he turned his hands behind his back in a circle. After more than ten seconds, he raised his head and spoke in Wu Jingzhong's tone.

“Commissioner and bureau chief Jun Jian, hereby staff member B of our station, together with member C of the business agency, will jointly carry out the task of eradicating rodents and pests.

Because the house they went to was in disrepair, the stairs suddenly collapsed, causing two people to fall to their deaths. Fortunately, there were no casualties among the others.

 B and C were unfortunately killed. My colleagues and I were deeply saddened and determined to strengthen safety precautions in future work to prevent such incidents from happening again.

In addition, B has lived alone for a long time, with food and accommodation in the office. It is inevitable that he will be depressed, and his mood has been particularly unstable recently. The specific details need to be investigated, Wu. "

Wu Jingzhong was dumbfounded. Isn't this Chi Guoguo's deception? If anyone knew about it, his head would be lost.

 Immediately, he thought about why the deputy director said that. After a long time, he seemed to have caught a glimmer of inspiration, but he was not sure.

"do you understand?"

Zuo Zhong raised the corner of his mouth and smiled: "What we care about is the result, not the process. As long as your story is good enough and everyone can look good, then there will be no problem.

Just like this message, even if someone snitches, with the last sentence "the specific details need to be investigated", you will be in an invincible position. You can attack when you retreat, and you can defend when you advance.

So how these people died today is not important. What is important is not to cause trouble to the committee members and bureau leaders. If two intelligence agencies are fighting, it will be a huge trouble. "

Having said this, he looked at Gu Qi who was thoughtful: "Record, when we meet with the Prosecution Bureau headquarters and the Attendant's Office, we will tell you that the first and second divisions will jointly conduct a joint operation to track down the underground party and Japanese spies in Hanyang.

 Unfortunately, they encountered an ambush and the enemy suddenly appeared. The situation was extremely critical. The personnel involved in the operation were grateful for the leader's will and fought to the death, successfully repelling the opponent.

 Thinking about the failure of this operation, there may be leaks and other reasons, and a detailed investigation is needed before a conclusion can be made. Currently, personnel from the two divisions are chasing the fleeing enemies to ascertain the responsibility.

  However, our losses are considerable, which will inevitably affect future intelligence operations. We would like to apply for additional personnel, weapons, equipment, and funds. The Investigation and Statistics Bureau's Secret Service Division, Zuo Zhong. "

high!

 It is really high.

Everyone was so convinced that they described the car crash as a joint operation and the fight as an encounter with the enemy. They also asked for supplements. In this way, not only would they gain face by going to the peak, but they would also benefit from it.

The four words "ascertaining responsibility" are even more magical. Gu Zhongya talked to Xu Enzeng on the phone and he appeared again when he was arresting the spy leader. Who can guarantee that there is no problem with him.

I'm afraid neither Er Chen would dare to say this. If necessary, they can throw these two things out to attract attention. With the other party taking the blame, the Secret Service and even them can rest easy.

Such a report is indeed appropriate. No wonder the deputy director has been able to rise to the top in just a few years. It seems that they still have a lot to learn, so flattery comes one after another.

Zuo Zhong waved his hand, his expression gradually becoming serious: "Okay, let's stop chatting and go to the spy leader's safe house to see if, by the way, Chunyang, the brothers have followed the target or taken a frontal photo of this person. "

 “Report, no.”

Wu Chunyang, who had just learned about the situation, explained with a grimace: "The target lowered his head when he came, and the situation was too chaotic during the firefight. They only had time to take a profile photo and lost him.

 In addition, we found the administrator of the building. Unfortunately, this person was stunned by the previous explosion and was unable to accept questioning. The identity and appearance of the spy leader are temporarily unknown.

According to my observation, the man is a male, about 1.7 meters tall. Judging from his movements, he is about 35 to 45 years old. I have arranged for people to trace his whereabouts, and the results should be available soon. "

Zuo Zhong was not too disappointed. If he was caught so easily, he would not be a spy. He immediately looked at the window that was still smoking in the distance and walked over.

Even if there were fires and explosions at the scene, there would only be a few minutes between when the people at the secret service headquarters made a noise and when the target jumped out of the window, so something might be left behind in the room.
