Director Mao's office was very quiet. Director Mao and Ye Gongjin sat on both sides of the table, looking at each other.
When a person's life or death needs to be decided, even Director Mao and Ye Gongjin will be more cautious, because it is also related to their reputation and prestige.
Director Mao nodded calmly, "Go ahead."
Ye Gongjin said softly: "Director, I have thought about it again and again. I have four options."
"Four options? You tell me and I'll listen."
The meeting room in the second office was very quiet, and everyone was paying attention to Zhao Minggui.
Zhao Minggui said: "The first option is to keep No. 1 and go to No. 2. This is called using the familiar and not the new. After all, No. 1 Su Shaoqing has been working with us for more than half a year and has achieved very good results. And No. 2 Su Shaoqing has
There are so many doubts, right? The second option is to keep No. 2 and go to No. 1. This is called using the truth instead of fakes. The doubts about No. 2 Su Shaoqing indirectly prove that No. 1 Su Shaoqing is fake. Although there is no evidence, but
This is one option. The third option is to leave neither of them behind. This is called not using suspects. How can an organization like the Bureau of Secrets use people who are suspicious? Therefore, it is necessary to employ people without suspicion and not use suspects."
"These are the three choices you gave me?" Ye Gongjin asked.
"Yes." Zhao Minggui added, "I can't think of any better way."
Ye Gongjin burst out laughing, "You guys, Minggui gave me three choices, but you didn't say anything. Do you guys have any better suggestions for me?"
Everyone here looked at each other and couldn't come up with any better suggestions.
Zhao Minggui: "Director, there are only three options, keep one and get rid of two, keep two and get rid of one, or get rid of both."
Director Mao nodded thoughtfully, "Okay, these are three options, so what is the fourth option?"
Ye Gongjin said calmly: "I want to keep both Su Shaoqings."
Director Mao looked up and stared at him, "Gongjin, are you kidding me?"
Ye Gongjin: "I don't dare, the army is joking."
It was very quiet in the second meeting room. Ye Gongjin was thinking quietly and weighing it in his mind.
Zhao Minggui slowly raised his head and looked at him, "Director, I would like to add a few more words. Before you make a decision, there are two factors to consider. The first one is the Tongtong factor. Su Shaoqing worked in Tongtong for five or six years.
We don't know how deep her relationship with Tong is now. We don't know if there is any shadow of Tong in this matter. The second factor is counterintuitive schemes. No. 1 Su Shaoqing is under your command.
We did a good job and arrested a lot of Communists. So we sent a man who risked his life and insisted that No. 1 Su Shaoqing was fake and that you couldn't use it. It's not impossible."
Ye Gongjin looked at him and nodded, "Although it's a bit unbelievable, I have to consider it."
Director Mao paced back and forth, "Gongjin, this statement is indeed a bit unbelievable, but it should be taken into consideration. However, your two reasons for staying are still not sufficient, and I cannot agree with your choice."
Ye Gongjin pleaded: "Director, please sit down and listen to me explain some truth to you."
Director Mao sat down at the table and said, "Okay, tell me if you can convince me."
Ye Gongjin stretched out two fingers and said, "Director, let's assume that one of the two Su Shaoqings is an undercover agent. So, why are you sending an undercover agent to me?"
Director Mao laughed and said, "That's what you asked."
Ye Gongjin also smiled, "The purpose is of course to obtain information from us. In addition, there is another important reason, because I don't have any undercover agents here. Right? If there were, they would still go to such great lengths to
Should I send an undercover agent here? Is that true?"
Director Mao nodded, "This makes sense, let's continue."
Ye Gongjin continued: "This is the first. Second, what will happen if we deal with these two Su Shaoqings, or transfer them both from the Secrecy Bureau? They will continue to send undercover agents to us. At that time, we
We may not know who is the undercover. Third, if there is a leak, news, or anything else, our scope of suspicion will be very small. We only need to pay attention to these two Su Shaoqings. Fourth,
These two Su Shaoqings are top experts in the field of agents. They must understand their situation. They will do everything possible to prove that they are true. They will do everything possible to achieve results and catch more Communists. They will also do everything possible to prove that they are true.
He will do everything possible to prove that the other one is fake and find the undercover agent for us. All we have to do is sit back and watch the fight between tigers and tigers."
Director Mao smiled and said, "What you said is just sophistry. In fact, you can't let go of these two people."
Ye Gongjin also laughed, "The director should be thorough. There is one last point. This last point is a paradox. Assuming that one of the two Su Shaoqings is a Communist, it means that our team in the Second Division is pure. Assume
Neither of these two Su Shaoqings are Communists, so the purity of our team is somewhat questionable. After all, there is a reunification factor and an anti-independence factor. Please think deeply, Director."
Director Mao was silent for a while and said softly: "Gong Jin, you must monitor these two people very carefully."
Ye Gongjin: "Please rest assured, Director, I will definitely do this."
Director Mao thought again, raised his head and said, "Gong Jin, when the critical moment comes, you can only keep one of these two Su Shaoqings. Do you understand?"
Ye Gongjin nodded, "I understand."
In the second meeting room, Ye Gongjin smiled and looked at the people at the table, "I also reported to the director for the reasons we discussed here, and the director agreed with my choice. The two Su Shaoqings all stayed
.”
Everyone at the table looked at Ye Gongjin in surprise.
Ye Gongjin continued: "Both Su Shaoqings have been released from house arrest. No. 1 Su Shaoqing has resumed his original position and is still the leader of the second team. No. 2 Su Shaoqing will be temporarily placed in the operations team, with Yunfa in charge. The monitoring of these two Su Shaoqings will be carried out.
Yunfa, Minggui, and Junjie, the three of you must take responsibility, arrange things more strictly, and report any situation to me immediately."
Zhao Minggui, Cheng Yunfa and others all nodded solemnly.
That afternoon, Cheng Yunfa knocked on the door of Room No. 1 and walked in with a smile, "Shaoqing, are you okay?" Seeing the confusion on Su Shaoqing's face, he tore off the label on the door and raised it, "You
, I’m here to congratulate you.”
Su Shaoqing looked at him in disbelief, "What's going on? Is it over?"
"Of course, of course, it's a loss for the party and the country if you are kept idle like this."
"Don't be joking, tell me something serious."
"That's right. After this period of review, the two of you have been ruled out as communists. So, from today on, both of you are free."
"Why are you so stupid? You are talking nonsense to me!" Su Shaoqing scolded, "One of the two Su Shaoqings is always fake. If this doesn't come out, you've done something wrong to me!"
"You, you, are still angry. Let me explain again, there is still a little suspicion. As for you, you have been in the government for several years. I don't know if your roots, or that of Su Shaoqing, are still there.
At this point, the director still has some doubts. We will figure this out in the future. Su Shaoqing, I have already informed her, you can go. How about we get together tonight
, let’s have a drink together?”
Ye Gongjin stood in the monitoring room, closely observing No. 1 Su Shaoqing's reaction.
Su Shaoqing stared at him, stood up and walked to the door. He turned around and said, "I'll talk about it when I feel happy one day."
Su Shaoqing No. 1 went out and slowly walked towards the door of Su Shaoqing No. 2. She turned back and pointed at Cheng Yun, signaling him not to come over.
An officer whispered in Ye Gongjin's ear: "Director, No. 1 Su Shaoqing has arrived at the door of No. 2 Su Shaoqing."
Ye Gongjin turned to the mirror in room No. 2. He saw Su Shaoqing No. 2 sitting at the table, looking up at the door. Su Shaoqing No. 1 was standing at the door, looking at her silently.
Su Shaoqing No. 1 walked over slowly and sat down at the table. The two Su Shaoqings looked at each other, looking up and down, and didn't speak for a while.
Ye Gongjin, Zhao Minggui and others stood in front of the mirror, shouting at the two women in the room.
Su Shaoqing No. 1 slowly looked around the room. She took out two rolls of tape from her pocket and looked at Su Shaoqing No. 2 with questioning eyes. Su Shaoqing No. 2 took the tape from her hand and looked at Su Shaoqing No. 1 as well.
The two people stood up almost at the same time, searched the room for bugs, and tore off the tape to seal it.
No. 2 Su Shaoqing suddenly threw the tape to the ground and said loudly: "I tell you, I don't care. You can just say what you want. There is no need to be so mysterious."
Su Shaoqing No. 1 glanced at her and continued to search for bugs in the room and put tape on them one by one.
In the surveillance room, an officer brought a pair of headphones and said, "Director, this one has sound."
Ye Gongjin took it and put it on and continued to walk into the house.
Su Shaoqing No. 1 walked up to Su Shaoqing No. 2, hugged her, and then pulled her to sit down at the table.
The two Su Shaoqings fell in love with each other.
No. 1 Su Shaoqing said softly: "I want to ask you something."
Su Shaoqing No. 2 looked at her alertly, "What?"
"Do you remember mother?"
"Which mother?"
"That's the mother who gave birth to us."
"I do not remember."
"These days, I am trying to remember. I have a vague impression that my mother has messy hair. I only remember this, she has messy hair all over her head."
No. 2 Su Shaoqing stared at her blankly, "I'm remembering too."
"What do you remember?"
"Her eyes are like two black holes."
"She must be very haggard. She must be starving."
"yes."
"She had no choice. Otherwise she would not have given us away. I vaguely remember that at that time, I kept crying. I kept crying, and there seemed to be crying next to me."
"That's why I'm crying." No. 2 Su Shaoqing had tears in his eyes.
"Did you feel any pain when mother bit us?"
"I do not remember."
"Are you an elder sister or a younger sister?"
"I have no idea."
No. 1 Su Shaoqing took her hand and said, "I don't know either, I don't know anything. How did you get here and who did you live with in these years?"
Ye Gongjin, who was monitoring the room, couldn't help but nodded and listened more attentively.
Su Shaoqing No. 2 slowly raised his head, stared at her, and shook her hand away, "I lived with my father and mother, and they raised me! You ask me how I got here? I told you
You are all written on my resume. I trained in the Xiongcun training class, and I served in the Coordination Office of the Thirteenth Army..."
No. 1 Su Shaoqing took her hand and said, "Needless to say, it must be the same. I just don't understand why you want to come here? If you say the wrong thing, they will kill you!"
No. 2 Su Shaoqing shook off her hand again, "Don't say such things, don't do this! You can deceive them, but you can't deceive me. You are a communist! It was you who killed my father!"
"
No. 1 Su Shaoqing shook his head, "Dad was defeated in Sichuan and he committed suicide."
They all hung their heads and were crying.
No. 1 Su Shaoqing sang "Farewell My Concubine" softly, "The king is sleeping peacefully in his clothes..."
As soon as Ye Gongjin in the next room heard this sung, he immediately understood that Su Shaoqing, the number one, also had a background in academics and was not comparable to ordinary amateurs. Her pronunciation and pronunciation had also been rigorously trained.
Ye Gongjin was even more confused. The two of them played the same set of through-arm boxing, sang the same Beijing opera, and both learned it since childhood. Could it be that they had never been separated? If so, it has something to do with the Communist Party. If
That's right, everything they are talking about now is just acting. Are they really all Tong people? Ye Gongjin has many doubts in his heart.
