Qin Donghai finally helped her stand up. He could see that Long Jinyun's whole body was stiff and he could no longer straighten his back. He whispered: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Long Jinyun smiled and shook his head at him, "Donghai, no need, really no need."
He carefully supported her and helped her get out of the truck. His guilty eyes kept looking back and forth on Long Jinyun's face.
At this time, the east was just green and white, and the surrounding scenery was half-light and half-dark, as if in a blue mist.
Du Ziyuan stood behind the truck and listened to Qin Donghai's brief report first, especially the various situations mentioned by SAARC and A Zhu. He nodded to Qin Donghai and said: "You are right. Zuo Shaoqing may be carrying
Something important is going to be returned to China via here. The things she is carrying are most likely related to our mission."
Next, Du Ziyuan began to assign tasks. A Zhu remained in the truck. Qin Donghai and Long Jinyun contacted the intelligence team in Phnom Penh and asked them to do everything possible to find the whereabouts of Zuo Shaoqing. He himself went to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs
office in Cambodia to try to learn more about the situation.
However, after a busy day, the situation they got was extremely serious.
At this time, it was already getting late. Du Ziyuan booked a room in a hotel in a secluded alley and sat with Qin Donghai and Long Jinyun. A Zhu sat under the wall outside the hotel, observing what was going on nearby.
.
The lights in the small room were dim, and the dilapidated walls were covered with glamorous celebrity advertisements. An electric fan was humming in the corner of the room, bringing a little coolness to the three silent people.[
The information they now get is that two days ago, there was a fierce gun battle in the alley west of Phnom Penh Railway Station, with seven gunmen chasing and killing a woman. Now, this woman is being held in the National Prison south of Phnom Penh.
Here, the current situation is unknown. This is the first thing.
The second thing is that Qin Donghai received surprising news from the comrades in the Phnom Penh team. Pan Qiwu, deputy director of the Intelligence Bureau of Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense and director of the general office, personally led people to Phnom Penh. When he arrived in Phnom Penh, a gunfight took place.
the day before.
Du Ziyuan judged that the gunfight west of Phnom Penh Railway Station must have been caused by Pan Qiwu. His target was basically certain to be Zuo Shaoqing, who had just fled to Phnom Penh. What he couldn't understand was why Zuo Shaoqing was being arrested at this time.
He was imprisoned in the National Prison in Phnom Penh. Du Ziyuan was very worried about this.
There is also a third thing. He got an unexpected information from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs office in Phnom Penh. A CIA agent entered Cambodia as a tourist and stayed at the Kunlang Hotel in Phnom Penh. He
His name is Mace.
Although Du Ziyuan had never seen this Metz, he already had a deep understanding of this CIA agent from Wu Fengying. Metz's appearance made him understand that Zuo Shaoqing's escape from Camlan Bay had already been affected by the United States.
The CIA attaches great importance to it. This situation indirectly shows that Zuo Shaoqing's escape is most likely to have some indirect or even direct relationship with the assassination of Ruan Qibo, the secretary-general of the South Vietnamese Presidential Office.
Du Ziyuan looked up at Qin Donghai, who was sitting opposite, and said softly: "You and the comrades in the Cambodian team must be prepared. We must take action as soon as possible. This action is divided into two parts. First, since Zuo Shaoqing is now under arrest
While in prison, the very important things she may have hidden on her body may be stored in the storage room of the prison with her other personal belongings. I ask the comrades of the Cambodian team to do everything possible to collect all of Zuo Shaoqing's belongings.
Take out all your personal belongings. Maybe there is something important among them."
Qin Donghai understood this and nodded seriously.
"The second thing," Du Ziyuan said softly: "You have to work with the comrades in the Cambodian team to do everything possible to rescue Zuo Shaoqing from prison!"
Qin Donghai nodded vigorously again, "Yes, I will definitely!"
Now, let's look back and see how Zuo Shaoqing was imprisoned in Phnom Penh National Prison.
Just two days ago, also at night, after the troops and police who had blocked the border to arrest Tachun withdrew, Zuo Shaoqing finally arrived in Phnom Penh in a rented truck.
She was very cautious and did not go straight to Phnom Penh Railway Station. Instead, she got off the bus a street away from Phnom Penh Railway Station. She stood behind a tall and thick banyan tree with twisted roots and looked at the train in the distance.
stand.
At this time, Zuo Shaoqing never thought that just the night before, Pan Qiwu and Jiang Shanyan were also standing behind this tall and strong banyan tree with entangled roots, observing the Phnom Penh Railway Station in the distance. At that time, Pan Qiwu took a photo
He leaned on the thick tree trunk and looked back at Jiang Shanyan beside him, with a sly smile on his face.
He said softly: "Brother Shanyan, I believe that when Zuo Shaoqing arrives in Phnom Penh, he will definitely stand behind this banyan tree and observe the Phnom Penh Railway Station in front of him."
Jiang Shanyan looked at him in surprise, then glanced nearby, and immediately said: "Sir, we can arrange a gunman in the corner over there. As long as she appears here, we can kill her with one shot!" [
Pan Qiwu shook his head, "No, you can't do that."
"Why? The location here is good." Jiang Shanyan was a little confused.
"Brother Shan Yan, from what I know about her, she is an unkillable black fish. If a shot misses, do you know which direction she will run in? She will disappear immediately." Pan Qiwu said softly.
Jiang Shanyan looked around again and couldn't help but nodded, "Sir, you are right."
Pan Qiwu pointed and said: "The train station can be regarded as a trap, and this should be a net opening. We open the net opening and wait for her to get in from here. As long as she gets in, we will catch her."
Jiang Shanyan looked at Pan Qiwu, who was somewhat proud, and just nodded, not wanting to spoil his mood.
But when Zuo Shaoqing stood behind the banyan tree and observed the train station, she did not immediately get in through the network opening. She was now carefully observing the surrounding situation, especially those dark corners and dangerous openings.
She now has an extremely small problem that is bothering her and making her undecided for a while. She does not speak Cambodian, French or English. These three languages are Cambodian.
official language.
This is different from being in Vietnam. Before going from Taipei to Cam Ranh Bay, Vietnam, she had a month to learn the Vietnamese language unexpectedly. The Vietnamese language is deeply influenced by the Chinese language, and the two are inextricably linked and interconnected.
This gave her a shortcut to learn Vietnamese unexpectedly.
But it's different in Cambodia. Although Cambodia and Vietnam are neighboring countries, with smooth borders and almost no obstacles to personnel exchanges, they are two completely different countries with almost no similarities.
Both Cambodia and Vietnam believe in Buddhism. But the Buddhism that Cambodia believes in is "Southern Buddhism", which was introduced from India to Myanmar, Thailand and Cambodia through Ceylon. Therefore, the temples in Cambodia are very similar to the temples in Myanmar and Thailand.
The Vietnamese believe in "Northern Buddhism", which was introduced to China through the Western Regions and then to Vietnam. Therefore, Vietnamese temples are almost the same as Chinese temples.
Ethnically, the two countries are also completely different. The Vietnamese have a relatively large amount of Chinese ancestry. Therefore, the appearance of the Vietnamese is very similar to that of the Lingnan people of China. The ancestry of the Cambodians is influenced by the Indians, and their skin is very dark.
There are also some slightly lighter patches. But Cambodians are very proud of their skin color. They call themselves "black Khmers". If a Cambodian has a lighter skin color,
Then, he must have Chinese ancestry.
Their writing is completely different. The Cambodian writing is similar to Myanmar and Thailand, and was developed from the Indian Pali script. The Vietnamese language is deeply influenced by Chinese culture and has many similarities.
It was precisely because of skin color and language problems that made Zuo Shaoqing feel uneasy.
Her skin color is white and delicate, which would stand out among the dark-skinned Cambodians. And she really doesn't want to stand out in the crowd. Another problem is the language problem. What if she goes to Phnom Penh Railway Station?
Explaining her whereabouts and time to the conductor? And the train station is a place where people gather, and it is the most dangerous place in her mind. She is very worried that she will attract other people's attention.
Dr. Mei said that she would be safer after crossing the border. Now, Zuo Shaoqing did not think so. Lieutenant Colonel McCann knew without a doubt that she would definitely cross the border and enter Cambodia. And Cambodia is too close to Vietnam.
It would be easy for Lieutenant Colonel McCann to send people into Cambodia to track her.
At this time, Zuo Shaoqing was standing under the big banyan tree on the street, looking at the train station with some lights in the distance, and couldn't think of any good ideas for a while. However, when she entered the snack bar next to it, she wanted to buy a bowl of lidded food.
When I was filling my stomach with rice, this problem was unexpectedly solved.
The owner of the small shop was fair and fat, holding a rag in his hand and wiping the table while walking towards her. Zuo Shaoqing guessed that he was most likely an overseas Chinese or of Chinese descent.
The fat and white shop owner said something to her. Seeing that she didn't respond and didn't seem to understand, he rolled his eyes and thought for a moment, then said: "You are eating here, what kind of food are you eating?"
Zuo Shaoqing heard that he was speaking in blunt Chinese. He also heard that there was a bit of unexpected humor in his words. It's me who eats, or the rice who eats me!
She smiled in surprise, looked at him, and said, "Boss, are you an overseas Chinese?"
The fat boss smiled and said, "Yeah, yeah. I am an overseas Chinese, and so are you?"
Zuo Shaoqing looked at the fat boss and had an idea in her mind, but she didn't want to say it right away. She asked the fat boss to sit down at the table, handed him a cigarette, and lit it for him. In this way, they
