An atmosphere of disappointment enveloped the Ministry of National Defense guardroom.【】
Ye Gongjin lowered his head and paced back and forth in the room. He knew for sure that tonight's operation was over.
Zhao Minggui and Huang Fenglin stood quietly at the table, watching Ye Gongjin.
Ye Gongjin looked up at them with a very serious expression on his face, "The driver stopped walking and actually shot himself. Why! What did we miss?"
Zhao Minggui and Huang Fenglin looked at him without saying a word. They couldn't say anything either.
Ye Gongjin stretched out his hand and pointed, "Minggui, after you go back, you have to investigate and find out the reason."
Zhao Minggui nodded, "Yes, I will check when I get back." He was secretly glad that the director was present tonight, and Huang Fenglin cooperated, and he asked for instructions on everything. Otherwise, this failure would still be remembered in his mind.
superior.
Ye Gongjin was very troubled. The underground organization of the Communist Party really took action. They kidnapped Fu Huaizhen in the theater and stole top-secret documents from the Ministry of National Defense. Although it was just a draft, the effect was the same. He could not be sure of this result. "
Whether "Huaishu" is on the list of six people? His main goal is in a state of uncertainty. Now, he can only hope to achieve his secondary goal tonight and find the underground organization of the Communist Party, but the result is
That's right. He felt like a breath was stuck in his chest, making him unable to breathe.
He looked out into the dark night and asked softly: "What are you two doing?"
Zhao Minggui and Huang Fenglin whispered: "Director, the Communist Party is really too cunning and alert." He thought for a while and felt that what he said was inappropriate. Aren't we less cunning and alert than the Communist Party? He added
: "Maybe, there was something wrong, I will find out."
Huang Fenglin said: "Director Ye, I still believe that Huaishu is among those six people. I will continue to investigate until he is found. Director, please believe me."
Ye Gongjin nodded to him, "Brother Fenglin, that's good, I think so too. You can continue to work hard. Minggui, you have to cooperate with brother Fenglin. This matter is only known to the two of you."
Zhao Minggui put his feet together and said, "Yes." Ye Gongjin's arrangement made him feel much better.
Zhao Minggui and Huang Fenglin, these two shrewd agents, will work together.
After all, Ye Gongjin was shrewd and experienced. Although tonight's operation failed, he was already thinking about how to use tonight's events to conduct his next inspection. He knew in his heart that Zuo Shaoqing was not important. What was important was the "Locust Tree"
". Isn't it just for this "locust tree" that he kept Zuo Shaoqing to this day?
He thought to himself, "Okay, I'll continue."
That night, Du Ziyuan stood in front of the room upstairs in the private clinic. He felt very heavy. Many comrades were arrested, which was a huge price he had to pay. More importantly, and what worried him even more, was, "
The traffic of "Huaishu" was completely cut off and could not be restored in a short time. But the current situation was very clear. The central government urgently needed the strategic intelligence provided by "Huaishu". What should I do? This was a sentence he repeatedly asked himself.
That night, there was another person who stayed up all night, namely "Huaishu", Guo Chongmu, director of the Operations Department of the Ministry of National Defense.
Guo Chongmu is a soldier with extremely high military literacy. He is well versed in the art of staff and is good at planning, formulating campaigns and strategic plans. Therefore, he knows what kind of intelligence is of great value. But he is not an agent. Although Ye Gongjin and others call him
A senior agent lurking in the Ministry of National Defense, but he is really not a strictly trained professional agent. He lacks the subtle instinct and superhuman alertness of a professional agent.
Therefore, it was not until yesterday morning that he figured out that Mao Renfeng, the fake father-in-law created by Ye Gongjin, was targeting him, not the Communist troops on the battlefield. He had wanted to meet Zhang Yalan and share his thoughts, but was
Zhang Yalan refused. She said: "Someone else will send it to you." After he put down the phone, he understood that Zhang Yalan would not contact him again. If anyone contacted him again, it would be someone else. He understood that the comrades outside were going to
Much more alert than him.
One thing he wanted to understand was that the comrades outside would pay a huge price for his small negligence.
At night, he stood in front of the office, looking at the dark night sky outside. He could not imagine what was happening outside, and the purpose was just to protect him. Another thing he worried about was how he would send out the information if he got it again.
.He didn’t know who to contact and could only wait passively.
At dawn, there was movement in Longyun Street. Those who got up early, those who bought groceries, and those who went to work saw several people in plain clothes busy around the mouth of a sewer well. One of them was crouching at the mouth of the well.
He was feeling something. People passing by covered their noses and passed by.
The man crouching at the mouth of the well finally straightened up and placed a lipstick stained with mud on the edge of the well.
Cheng Yunfa took out his handkerchief, wrapped the lipstick and put it in his pocket.
The lipstick was immediately sent to the imaging room of the Technical Department of the Security Bureau and repaired and developed.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Zuo Shaoqing followed Ye Gongjin to the Ministry of National Defense. In the same car with them was Zhao Minggui. Zuo Shaoqing was very wary, guessing that Ye Gongjin must be up to something else.
When they arrived at the small conference room on the fifth floor of the Ministry of National Defense, it was empty and there was no one there.
Ye Gongjin checked his watch and couldn't help but shake his head and said: "The time agreed upon by the secretary-general and I is nine o'clock sharp. There is really nothing we can do against these officers."
Ten minutes later, the Secretary-General of the General Office of the Ministry of National Defense entered the conference room. He had a round belly and opened his mouth as soon as he entered the door. "Why, Gong Jin, haven't you come yet? I'm going to urge you, please wait a moment."
"He turned around and went out, called a female officer, and asked her to call several officers to come as soon as possible.
After another fifteen minutes, several other officers arrived belatedly. They were the six officers left behind by Director Mao the day before yesterday. Zheng Jiemin, Director of the Second Department of the Ministry of National Defense, Guo Chongmu, Director of the Operations Department, and Secretary of the General Office
Chief of Staff, Yu Zhidao, Chief of Staff of the Joint Logistics Headquarters, Director of the Staff Office of the Ministry of National Defense, and a General Senior Counselor of the Army Headquarters.
Ye Gongjin stood at the door of the small conference room, shaking hands with the senior officials who entered one by one to welcome them, saying many words of intrusion and apology, and asking them to sit down at the conference table.
Zuo Shaoqing and Zhao Minggui stood by the wall at the door. When she saw Guo Chongmu walking in, she vaguely realized that Ye Gongjin had not given up his suspicion on these six people because of the failure of last night's action. Today's meeting should be
As part of the operation last night, she realized that the situation of "Locust Tree" was still very dangerous.
Although today's meeting was chaired by Ye Gongjin, the senior officials present were all generals. How dare he, a major general, sit at the top. Ye Gongjin specifically asked the Secretary-General of the General Office to sit at the top and preside over the meeting, while he himself sat at the top.
Secretary General's side.
Ye Gongjin smiled and looked around at the senior generals at the table. It was a great honor to summon them to the table. He only had two goals in mind at this time, one was Guo Chongmu, the director of the Operations Department, and the other was the joint logistics chief.
Yu Zhidao, the chief of staff of the headquarters. Due to his professional sensitivity, he believed that one of the two people was most likely the agent "Huaishu". However, he did not dare to tell anyone this idea easily. Firstly, he was afraid of leaking secrets, and secondly, he was afraid of leaking secrets.
It led to a fatal disaster. But now, what he fears most is Zheng Jiemin, the director of the Second Department sitting opposite him. Zheng Jiemin is the former director of the Secrecy Bureau and is in charge of intelligence work in the Second Department. Zheng Jiemin is an old and cunning man.
But he was very worried that Director Zheng would quarrel with him and prevent him from coming to power.
Zuo Shaoqing and Zhao Minggui sat at the far end of the conference table, with their shoulders straight. These six people were the suspects they jointly selected. But like Ye Gongjin, they were also afraid.
The fat secretary-general spoke first. He turned to Ye Gongjin and said, "Brother Gongjin, this meeting is held at your request. Time is tight, so I won't waste any more words. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Ye Gongjin stood up, with a humble smile on his face, and bowed to the officers at the table, "I'm really sorry, I have to take up some of your time, officers. The morning before yesterday, I accompanied Director Mao to meet with you in the large conference room.
And with your great assistance, I created a fake Ministry of National Defense announcement. Brothers are here today to inform you of the results of this matter, and to give you an explanation."
The secretary-general became interested first, "Gong Jin, sit down and talk. We are all interested in hearing it. What is the result?"
When Ye Gongjin sat down, he had already put away the smile on his face, "Secretary-General, sirs, the result far exceeded our expectations. The military meeting of the Ministry of National Defense making strategic decisions about the Northeast has been reported to agents lurking in the Ministry of National Defense.
Learn it and pass it on.”
The senior officials here have experienced the ups and downs of officialdom, and have long developed the instinct to not be surprised by changes. However, there is still a hint of surprise in their calm eyes.
Ye Gongjin looked at them quietly and continued to show his trump card, "This agent has been arrested."
Guo Chongmu, like other senior officials, stared at Ye Gongjin calmly.
"Who is he?" the Secretary-General asked first.
Ye Gongjin nodded to him, "Secretary-General, I'm sorry, this agent is the second lieutenant officer Zhang Yalan from the Secretariat of the General Office. She has been sitting outside the door of the large conference room during the few days when the Ministry of National Defense was meeting."
There was silence in the conference room, everyone's eyes were fixed on Ye Gongjin's face, and they were weighing the matter in their hearts.
Zuo Shaoqing sat at the end of the table, her eyes moving around on the faces of the senior officials. Her eyes glanced at Guo Chongmu from time to time. She knew that Ye Gongjin's move was extremely sinister. He wanted to figure out who had a change in his face, and who he wanted to blame for it.
It was the "Locust Tree". Zuo Shaoqing turned her eyes and realized that Zhao Minggui, who was sitting opposite, had been secretly observing her. She turned her eyes and looked directly at him. Obviously, Ye Gongjin brought her here for a purpose.
The secretary-general's face was already very grim, "Gong Jin, you're going to arrest her just because she's sitting outside the conference room door?"
"Of course it's more than that. We have solid evidence."
"Bring me your evidence and let us have a look."
Ye Gongjin opened his briefcase, first took out a lipstick and gave it to everyone present. Then he unscrewed the back cover of the lipstick, took out a roll of micro film, and placed it on the table, "Everyone, this is the lipstick Zhang Yalan used to hide the film.
And her film. The items in this film are the drafts that you helped revise the morning before yesterday." He took out a few more enlarged photos from his bag and handed them to the secretary-general, "Please."
The secretary-general took the photos and his expression became even more serious. These photos were indeed official drafts that he personally modified. He handed the photos to Zheng Jiemin.
Several senior officials passed around photos. None of them spoke.
The secretary-general's eyes rolled on Ye Gongjin's face and asked again: "What else?"
Ye Gongjin said: "Secretary-General, the underground organization of the Communist Party already knows that we made a strategic decision about Northeast China at the meeting the day before yesterday. Therefore, last night, they took a series of actions in an attempt to obtain the content of this decision. Zuo Shao
, please introduce the situation last night to the officers."
Everyone's eyes turned to Zuo Shaoqing's face.
Zuo Shaoqing straightened his back, coughed slightly, and said: "Last night at 7:30, the drafter of this company, Fu Huaizhen, the deputy director of the Secretariat of the General Office, was kidnapped by the underground organization of the Communist Party when he went to the theater.
Fortunately, Director Ye had already made arrangements for this, and our people tried their best to save it, so the Communists did not succeed. In addition, at twelve o'clock last night, Zhang Yalan, who I just mentioned, got the draft and secretly passed it on. Fortunately, Director Ye
We had already noticed it and made arrangements in advance. Not only did we arrest Zhang Yalan, but also many Communist Party members. It was exactly this situation that Director Ye reported to the officers."
Guo Chongmu stared at the female officer sternly. He believed that when Zhang Yalan was arrested, the female officer named Zuo must be the one who did it, or even the planner. He could see this woman's shrewdness and decisiveness. "This is a dangerous woman.
"He thought to himself.
What shocked Ye Gongjin was that he saw a smile on Zheng Jiemin's face. He even laughed, but said nothing. On the contrary, Yu Zhidao, the chief of staff of the Joint Logistics Headquarters next to him, turned his head and glanced at Zheng Jiemin, and then
He let out a vicious sneer.
He pointed at Ye Gongjin with his hand, "Gongjin, Gongjin, let me ask, we people," he pointed to the senior officials at the table, "can we get rid of suspicion?"
Ye Gongjin was startled and said hurriedly: "Brother Zhidao is overly worried. I never meant this."
Yu Zhidao sneered and said: "The Communist Party tried its best to kidnap or steal this fake father-in-law. This shows that we people did not leak the true situation to the Communist Party, right?"
Yu Zhidao's words were like dropping a bomb in the conference room. All the senior officials had angry looks on their faces, and some began to talk in low voices.
The senior counselor of the army headquarters slammed the table and said, "Ye Gongjin, this is your goal! We are all blind. We are still counting the money for you after being sold by you, aren't we?"
Yu Zhidao said: "I, Zhang Yalan, am not an agent. I, Director Ye, must think that there is only one great agent among us, right?"
Ye Gongjin stood up in a hurry, "I don't mean that, absolutely not. My original intention is to prevent the results of the meeting from being stolen by the Communist Party. Please don't be angry. If I had doubted you, I wouldn't have come today."
But the atmosphere in the conference room was extremely awkward. This was something Ye Gongjin did not expect.
