After listening to the young man's simple narration, Qin Donghai's heart began to twitch, and he even felt uneasy. Although he was not sure, the sensitivity developed in the intelligence profession made him feel that this situation was extremely important.
The small market town seemed extremely peaceful in such a dark night. The surroundings were in darkness, and the bamboo forests and coconut trees on the roadside were swaying in the breeze. There seemed to be the sound of dogs barking in the distance.
Qin Donghai was uneasy and gradually couldn't sit still. He stood up and said, "Pack your things, we have to leave immediately."
Long Jinyun looked at him in astonishment, "Where are we going?"
"Go to Saigon. The situation here must be reported to Lao Du as soon as possible."[
The truck returned to the narrow road and sped through the dark hills.
At around three o'clock in the morning, the truck drove into the old city of Saigon and stopped beside a narrow street. Qin Donghai asked Long Jinyun and Ah Zhu to wait in the car, and he soon disappeared into the dark alley.
.
He went to a secret communication station in Saigon, which had a radio station.
He followed a thin middle-aged man into the attic. While the middle-aged man was preparing the radio, he sat in the corner and drafted a telegram. This was a particularly encrypted telegram. The contents of the telegram were roughly as follows:
"Read 2629. We traveled south and obtained the following information: First, the left side of the base retreated for unknown reasons and was closely hunted by the military and police. Second, the Mei group was completely lost for unknown reasons. The whereabouts of Mei and others are unknown. Third, Mei was captured
Before arrest, a woman was asked to cross the border and return immediately
It seems that she brought something very important back to the country. I judged that the woman might be from the left side of the base, and the things she brought may be related to Ruan's death. Fourth, the trip of the three of us south has been informed by the local US intelligence agency and SAARC, and there are internal suspicions
There is a leak. Please ask for further instructions and wait immediately."
After the telegram was sent, the thin middle-aged man was worried that the radio station was being monitored and asked to shut it down.
Qin Donghai glared at him sternly and said, "No! I have to wait for a call back!"
Half an hour later, Du Ziyuan was woken up by a correspondent from the Guangxi Investigation Bureau and told him that the bureau had a telegram for him. It was a secret telegram. Du Ziyuan realized that there might be an important situation and hurriedly went to the Investigation Bureau with the correspondent. At the Bureau of Investigation machine
In the VIP room, a confidential officer asked him to sign the receipt and then handed him a telegram.
Du Ziyuan took out his code book and translated it one by one. After the translation was completed, he understood it clearly.
The situation in the telegram made all the hair on his body stand up, as if he was suddenly immersed in cold water, making him tremble all over. The situation described in the telegram was far more serious than he imagined.
His trip south was kept strictly confidential in the Investigation Department. But it was actually known to the Americans, and even people from SAARC knew about it. This situation frightened him. There was no doubt that the secret was leaked from the Department.
His whereabouts in the future were almost kept secret. What frightened him even more was that he didn't even dare to tell anyone about this situation.
"Water hyacinth"! This was the thought that immediately popped up in Du Ziyuan's mind. This "water hyacinth" was hidden in the investigation department, and it was even possible that he knew all his actions. Du Ziyuan really shuddered when he thought of this.
The total loss of the Mei Organization in Cam Ranh Bay was another thing that shocked him. This was no longer a problem of traffic interruption. He vaguely realized that the loss of the Mei Organization might even be part of the assassination of Ruan Qibo.
a special precaution.prevention
What? To prevent the assassination of Ruan Qibo from being detected or controlled by the Mei organization? He felt that this might be the case. Then, he could further judge that the losses of the Mei organization may also be related to the "water hyacinth". It may even be an integral part of this assassination operation.
.
Du Ziyuan felt cold sweat streaming down his forehead. If his judgment was correct, then this assassination operation by the Americans could be said to be extremely well planned. All was to destroy Sino-Soviet relations? To destroy China's ability to manufacture atomic weapons?
Technology? Du Ziyuan couldn't help but think, this is most likely the case!
Therefore, another more important situation is that the "Left of the Base" retreated and was closely hunted by the local military and police. He felt that Qin Donghai's judgment was correct. The retreat of the "Left of the Base" was most likely related to Ruan Qibo.
Related to being assassinated!
"Crossing the border"! The word in the telegram made him nervous. He immediately found a map of Indochina and looked carefully at the borders of Vietnam, Cambodia and surrounding countries. He understood that Zuo Shaoqing, who had infiltrated the base, wanted to escape Vietnam and
Cambodia is almost the only way out when returning to China. And there is only one way out in Cambodia, which is to take a train to Bangkok.
I believe the officers must understand that Du Ziyuan knew that the "left side of the base" was Zuo Shaoqing, but he did not know that this Zuo Shaoqing was Zuo Shaoqing from Nanjing. Because Zuo Shaoqing went from Taipei to Cam Ranh Bay with the accompanying members of the US military advisory group
The identity of the person responsible for training local intelligence officers must have changed his name and resume. This is the reason.
It is a common practice for police officers to perform new tasks. In this story, he still called her "Zuo Shaoqing" just to make it easier for the officials to read. Therefore, although Du Ziyuan received a report about Zuo Shaoqing from the Mei organization, he did not
Little did he know that she was Wu Fengying back then. The story between them will be narrated slowly below.
At this time, Director Gao of the Guangxi Investigation Bureau had been sitting opposite Du Ziyuan. He had already seen from Du Ziyuan's face that the situation in the telegram was extremely serious. He asked: "Lao Du, what can we do?"
Du Ziyuan stared at him sternly, as if staring at a stranger. He thought for a while and then said: "Lao Gao, there are two things. First, help me make arrangements, I want to fly to Hong Kong. Second, related
I cannot tell anyone about my situation, not even the ministry! This is a critical moment for the mission I am undertaking, and I hope you must understand this!" [
Director Gao also looked at him seriously, with questions hidden in his eyes. He knew that Du Ziyuan, as the deputy director of the Second Bureau of the Investigation Department, left the country to go to Hong Kong alone. This was a big deal and he should report it to the department. But when he saw Du Ziyuan
With a look on his face, he also knew that there must be an extremely serious situation involved. He thought about it for a while and finally nodded to Du Ziyuan.
Du Ziyuan almost gritted his teeth and said, "Lao Gao, thank you for your understanding."
Then, Du Ziyuan urgently drafted a reply call and encrypted it. The message was as follows: "4440, hurry to meet me at the train station in Phnom Penh, Cambodia." He and Director Gao went to the confidential room of the Investigation Bureau and personally watched the operator send the telegram and
After confirming that the other party had accepted it, he turned back and prepared to leave. Now, the doubts in his heart were as heavy as a mountain, and he did not even dare to tell Director Gao that he was planning to fly from Hong Kong to Phnom Penh.
Danger is imminent! It is related to national security! This is what he was thinking at this time.
At this time, Qin Donghai, who was waiting anxiously in a small attic in Saigon, finally received the telegram. After he understood Du Ziyuan's instructions, he stood up immediately. He turned back to the middle-aged man with a puzzled face and said: "Inform your team leader
, all members immediately transfer, change identities, change residence and occupation. This is an emergency order!"
Qin Donghai left the small attic and ran in the dark alley. Although it was before dawn and the coolest time of the day, he was still sweating profusely.
Although Lao Du's telegram was very brief, he understood that Lao Du must agree with him. Zuo Shaoqing from the "left side of the base" has most likely fled to Cambodia and will leave from Phnom Penh Railway Station. The most important thing is,
Zuo Shaoqing's escape is most likely related to Ruan Qibo's assassination. If this is true, Zuo Shaoqing will be the key to finding out the cause of Ruan Qibo's death.
The reason why Qin Donghai was running at this time was that he knew that Zuo Shaoqing had fled Camlan Bay for four or five days. He was worried about whether he could catch up with her in Phnom Penh.
Qin Donghai returned to the truck and drove the truck away from Saigon, driving westward without any explanation.
They were lucky. During that period, both North Vietnam and South Vietnam regarded Laos and Cambodia as their own territories. Therefore, there were no checkpoints on the borders between Vietnam, Laos and Vietnam, and people on both sides of the border were free.
flowing.
At noon that day, Qin Donghai drove across the border and entered Cambodia. At night, they finally arrived in Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, and stopped in the corner in front of the Phnom Penh train station.
All they can do now is wait.
Phnom Penh Railway Station is a very small railway station. A two-story building is the station. There are a few lights in front of the building, illuminating the small station square. The square is surrounded by low and dilapidated houses.
There are several winding and narrow streets among them. Some pedestrians and residents sit in the square in front of the station to enjoy the cool air, waving cattail fans and laughing loudly. Several vendors selling cigarettes and melon seeds mill around among the crowds enjoying the cool air.
Qin Donghai's truck was parked in the shadow next to this small square. They did not dare to sit in the cab for fear of attracting other people's attention. They all got into the truck compartment and sat on tall cotton bags in the darkness.
Qin Donghai and Long Jinyun sat side by side, looking outside through the small opening in the tarpaulin. A Zhu was lying in the corner, already asleep.
"Lao Du is coming tonight too?" Long Jinyun asked in a low voice.
"Yes." Qin Donghai gritted his teeth and endured extreme sleepiness.
"Why is he here? He's also driving here?"
"I don't know. It didn't say anything in the telegram."
“Why do we come to Phnom Penh?”
But she didn't hear Qin Donghai's answer. She looked back and found that Qin Donghai had lowered his head and his body gradually tilted to one side, and was about to fall. She held his shoulders and knew that he had fallen asleep.
.
At this time, Long Jinyun had an indescribable subtle feeling in his heart, a feeling that made people feel distressed and concerned. In the past few days, he had hardly slept, and had been driving the truck for long distances.
. She once offered to take turns driving with him. But he didn't agree, saying that it would be faster if he drove. Now, he finally couldn't resist the fatigue of many days in a row.
She held his shoulders and let him fall down slowly, letting his head rest on her lap. For the first time, she experienced the feeling of a man's head on her lap. This was a feeling that once made her very happy.
