Cicada Moving

Chapter 843 Seeing the Sun (1)

The next few days in Jiacheng appeared to be calm on the surface, but in fact they were in turmoil. Countless intelligence agents and eyes and ears were used to investigate all suspicious locations.

 As a state machine, even if it is partially paralyzed, the government still unleashes tremendous energy when fully mobilized, especially under the leadership of the Secret Service.

Early in the morning, Wu Chunyang and the other three hurried back to the Jicheng office, preparing to report the situation to Zuo Chong, who had just withdrawn from Hanyang.

“Don’t be anxious, Chunyang, let’s have a meeting together when everyone is here.”

Zuo Zhong raised his hand and pressed down for them to sit down, and at the same time picked up the intercom phone to notify Gu Qi, Song Minghao, and Gui Youguang to go to the conference room.

More than ten minutes later, everyone sat down one by one and spread incense to each other. They discussed their harvest in a low voice, and the small room was buzzing.

Zuo Zhong didn't talk nonsense, coughed lightly, and after the room returned to silence, he motioned for Wu Chunyang to raise his head. After all, he was Zuo's leader.

 “Yes, Deputy Director.”

Wu Chunyang stood up, bowed slightly to Zuo Zhong and Gu Qi, and said: "Following your instructions, Wu Jingzhong, Shen Dongxin and I started arranging locations where the target might appear five days ago.

According to statistics, there are a total of six camera equipment stores, 19 photo studios, and three large newspaper offices in Qicheng, located in three towns. In order to improve efficiency, the three of us divided the labor.

I am in charge of Wuchang, Lao Wu is in charge of Hankou, and Dongxin is in charge of Hanyang. Based on side information, file retrieval, and secret interviews, eighteen suspicious persons have been discovered so far. "

The sedan chair was carried by others, but he did not take all the credit on himself. It was the style of the Secret Service headquarters to undermine each other, and the Secret Service did not like this.

Sure enough, Wu Jingzhong and Shen Dongxin smiled after hearing this, straightened their waists a little, and looked at Wu Chunyang with gratitude in their eyes.

Zuo Zhong was also very satisfied with his approach and said in a kind tone: "Well, that's right. This shows that you are a combative group. Chunyang, please tell me the specific situation."

 “Thank you, Deputy Director, for the compliment.”

Wu Chunyang was flattered, then opened a notebook and looked at the contents on it and said: "These eighteen suspects all have conditions and opportunities to access camera equipment, and their identities are doubtful.

The files of the police station show that the family background of three people is falsified, the past experiences of two people are unknown, six people have made inappropriate remarks, and the remaining five have no fixed occupation and their whereabouts are mysterious.

More importantly, they have either been to the three places in Chaozhou or come into contact with people from the three places in Chaozhou. Witnesses can confirm this. The following is the information of these people, Bai Zhenying, male, occupation..."

He spent a few minutes reading the suspect's information. Everyone present took notes and took notes. Wu Jingzhong and Shen Dongxin were the same. When serving in the government, you must learn to be gregarious~

Zuo Zhong, who was sitting at the top, finished writing the last word. He glanced at the list and couldn't help but chew his teeth. There are eighteen suspects. Surveillance work is a big problem. I'm afraid there won't be enough manpower in Maocheng.

 When he issued the order, he did not expect that there would be so many suspects and asked for comprehensive surveillance. Now it seems that he made an empiricist error.

 Assuming that one suspect is assigned to two three-person teams, at least more than a hundred operatives are needed, and they must be experienced elderly people.

This is definitely not possible. Before the Secret Service was upgraded, the staffing structure was fixed, and some suspects had to be eliminated from the list as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Zuo Zhong tapped the table with his pen: "Chunyang, what are your plans for surveillance? Nowadays, we need manpower on all lines, and I don't have that many people for you."

Wu Chunyang was well prepared for this and immediately replied: "Deputy Director, Lao Wu and Dongxin and I have discussed this matter before, and we agreed that we should first find out where these people were on the day of the explosion.

Therefore, I have only dispatched a small number of experts to take turns to replace the close surveillance, and put the main force on the investigation of the suspect's whereabouts. The manpower is sufficient for the time being, and there is no need to increase it. Please rest assured. "

"Yes."

Wu Jingzhong interjected: "We saw with our own eyes that the spy leader entered the safe house. This is a very reliable clue. The other party can never be separated.

I think people can be arrested after this step is completed. There will be a fight in Xucheng at any time. If the target is among these people, this is a good thing for the front line.

Even if you are not inside, arresting a few people can be considered as an explanation. After all, we are all wearing military uniforms, and it is very important to have a good relationship with the military. "

"kindness…"

Zuo Zhong took a deep look at King Jin Ju. He was worthy of being a talented person who had studied abroad in Hong Russia. He knew politics and general knowledge. No wonder Li Qiwu was able to escape unscathed after offending him and did not have to stay in Xiaoliuqiu to cut sugar cane.

 In this case, let’s leave this matter to the other party and leave the two masters alone. After inspecting Wu Jingzhong for so long, it’s time to give him a taste of the sweetness.

Moreover, the eldest son has returned to China. Old Wu and that man are classmates and have a very good relationship. With this relationship, he might be able to really get into the top ranks of the Kuomintang.

Even though he is now highly appreciated by the bald head, he has unlimited glory, but things in the world are unpredictable. What if the bald head stops appreciating him one day?

 Throughout the ages, there have been countless secret organizations. In summary, they all have a common characteristic, which is their dependence on power, which in turn leads to their vulnerability.

The Secret Service has a great reputation but is also deeply involved in the political whirlpool and is in an embarrassing situation. As a knife, their power does not come from themselves, and their fate also depends on the person wielding the knife.

Characters like Dai Chunfeng are unable to protect themselves. If they hit a mountain, they will hit a mountain. Everything they own is a rootless tree. Maybe it will be gone when a strong wind blows. They must find a way to consolidate the foundation.

Countless thoughts flashed through Zuo Zhong's mind. Determined not to hit the mountain, he took a deep breath, smiled and nodded to Wu Jingzhong, and his tone suddenly became amiable.

"What Lao Wu said is right. You will be responsible for arresting people when the time comes. I can rest assured that you will handle the matter, so it's settled." Zuo Zhong made a decisive decision, then looked at Gu Qi: "Lao Gu, you Over there, have you discovered it in Min and Guangdong provinces? If not, you and Chunyang should have a try.

Compare the time and space trajectories of the suspects and contacts with Buick cars with the character "6" on their license plates in Chaozhou, Yangshang and Zhangzhou to find out whether there are any overlaps. "

Gu Qi responded honestly: “Nothing has been gained. There are more than 50 vehicles that meet the standards in the three places, and the owners are all well-known local businessmen, party and military officials.

 After preliminary investigation, no suspicious signs were found, and no Japanese spies were found around them. There are two possibilities. One is that the car in the photo is not within the scope of the investigation, and the other is that the Japanese spies have withdrawn.

 What I am most worried about is the second one. The espionage's retreat is nothing more than a success or failure of the operation. The latter is fine, but if it is the former... Min and Guangdong may not be stable for long.

 At the end of the meeting, I will talk to Chunyang to eliminate the hidden dangers as soon as possible. These two provinces cannot be lost anymore. Once the southeast sea route is cut off, European and American weapons and equipment will not be transported in. "

 “Okay, just pay attention to this matter.”

Zuo Zhong replied casually, not taking the matter to heart at all, because it was useless for Gu Qi to worry. The fall of the coastal cities in Min and Guangdong was inevitable.

The Japanese have been preparing for this war for decades, how could they let go of the fat on their lips? Besides, this is not a military meeting, and they are not staff officers.

With a change of thought, he turned his attention to Song Minghao and Gui Youguang. These two guys turned the explosion site upside down. Finally, they made some discoveries. Let them show their faces.

Song Minghao, the veteran, saw the deputy director looking over, pretending to give in to Gui Youguang, and then stood up happily to report. After hearing this, everyone suddenly became energetic.

 Search personnel successively found 25 Chinese typewriter parts, 21 radio station wreckage and some alarm clock fragments near the scene, focusing on radio stations.

This means that even if there are backup communication channels and tools, the spy leader will temporarily cut off communication with his superiors before safety and exposure reasons are determined.

As a result, the Japanese espionage organization in Changcheng will definitely have to stop for a period of time. They are equivalent to coordinating the frontal battlefield. Alas, it is all the fault of that guy Xu Enzeng, otherwise this case would have been closed long ago.

Thinking of this, everyone gritted their teeth and greeted the Xu family in their hearts. The fish that had entered the net ran away. This was the first time in the history of the Secret Service. How could it not make people upset.

Zuo Zhong was very open-minded. Xu Enzeng did not drop his chain once or twice. There was no need to care. He lowered his head and looked at his watch, closed his notebook and announced the end of the meeting.

 Rome was not built in a day. Whether it is Wu Chunyang or others, or the two provinces of Min and Guangdong, the related work will take time, and there is no need to rush.

When everyone heard this, they dispersed. Zuo Zhong slowly came to the archives room and knocked on the fine steel door. The little spy on duty saw the smile and hurriedly opened the door, nodded and bowed.

 “Deputy Director, please come in.”

"Well, be alert when on duty and don't be lazy. If you lose something here, you will lose your head."

　　Pointing to the "Confidentiality Code" on the wall, Zuo Da walked swaggering into the door. Looking at the rows of dark green filing cabinets, he waved his hand and drove the little spy out without even making an excuse.

"Okay, you can go out first. You are not allowed to come in without my order. If someone comes to deliver documents, ask them to come back later. Do you hear me?"

 “I heard it, I understand it.”

The little agent clicked his head out of the afterimage, and the deputy director personally checked the files. There must be important official business, maybe a major case. When he realized this, he immediately resigned, rubbed the soles of his feet and ran away.

It's impossible to slip away. If the secret is leaked, I can't explain it even if I have a hundred mouths. Besides, who is the deputy director? How can he steal the secret? It's impossible.

Looking at the little spy who fled in panic, Zuo Zhong smiled slightly. Such smart people should be assigned to the internal confidentiality department so that he can "review" the intelligence in the future.

Keeping this in mind, he walked to the filing cabinet and started reading from the first one. He kept running his fingers over the labels on the cabinet and murmuring something.

 “Junweihui personnel files.”

 “Defense map of Jiacheng.”

 “Northwestern Eyes and Eyes List of Secret Service Headquarters.”

 …

Walking through more than a dozen filing cabinets, Zuo Zhong finally found the drawer marked "Qicheng Party Headquarters." He put on his gloves and opened it, flipping through it. A personnel file suddenly appeared in front of him.

“Guo Bin, male, native of Zhejiang Province, born in 1900, graduated from Nanyang University in Shanghai, served as staff member, deputy section chief, and section chief of the Confidential Section of the Yangcheng Party Department of Guangdong Province, and deputy director and director of the Investigation Division.

Later he was transferred to the deputy committee member of the Administrative Wei Yuan Office of Dongjiang and the commissioner of the Administrative Supervision Commissioner's Office of the Fifth District. In December 1937, due to his outstanding political achievements, he was transferred to the Changcheng Party Headquarters as the Supervisor Wei Yuan. "

Zuo Zhong quickly wrote down the contents, glanced in the direction of the door, put the files back to their original places, gently pushed the drawers, and then took off his gloves to open a few unimportant file cabinets and leave fingerprints.

　　After finishing the matter, he left the archives room in a hurry, returned to his office, closed the door, edited Guo Bin's archives into a secret message and sent it to Lao K, and then forgot about the matter.
