Pan Qiwu rolled his eyes and said softly: "We have already arranged this matter." His mind began to spin again. Obviously, getting rid of Zuo Shaoqing must be one of the reasons why Metz came here. Then, another
What's a reason?
He asked: "Mr. Mace, what else do you want?"
Mace said meaningfully: "I want that Du." He paused and then said: "Don't you want it?"
Pan Qiwu immediately thought of what he was worried about when Jiang Shanyan reported to him tonight. Although Jiang Shanyan was very sure about assassinating Zuo Shaoqing, in Pan Qiwu's heart, he was not so sure about it. If it was true.
Without getting rid of Zuo Shaoqing, he would never be able to be tough in front of Ye Gongjin in the future. That was what he thought at the time. Now, what if he had Du Ziyuan in his hands? Then the situation would be completely different.
Pan Qiwu looked at Metz with a smile, "Mr. Metz, please rest assured that I will seriously consider this matter."
The secret meeting between Metz and Pan Qiwu reached Du Ziyuan's ears at about five o'clock in the morning. At this time, he was lying in the dark room, but he was not asleep. He just closed his eyes.
, think about the problems in your heart while worrying.
At noon, Chi Hong reported to him that Long Jinyun and his car had been robbed by Jiang Shanyan. He tried hard to restrain himself and did not slam the table. It was already very difficult for the comrades below, and they were under great pressure.
It is also very big. A deputy director came to this place in person to guide the work, which had never happened before.
He whispered to Qin Donghai and Chi Hong: "I will consider this issue. When the time comes, do as I ask."
But until this time, he still had not figured out a solution. All methods were flawed and would even cause new losses. He had been tossing and turning over what to do next.[
He opened his eyes suddenly and saw A Zhu stretching his thin neck in the darkness and leaning over to look at him intently.
He said softly: "Azhu, is something wrong?"
A Zhuye said softly: "Uncle Chi's comrade just sent news that a man named Mei Si went to the Phnom Penh Hotel at 10:50 at night and met Pan Qiwu. That's all."
Du Ziyuan sat up suddenly and reached out to turn on the light. He stared at A Zhu and asked the matter again. This time, A Zhu said what he had just said more slowly and looked at him in surprise.
Du Ziyuan let his legs hang to the edge of the bed and thought about it motionlessly for five minutes. A smile gradually appeared on his face. This Metz had helped him a lot, and he should really thank him.
He smiled, patted A-Zhu's young face, and said softly: "A-Zhu, go and tell your Brother Qin and your Uncle Chi to come to my place before seven o'clock."
A Zhu was infected and also smiled, "Okay, I'll inform you right away." He then said, "Uncle Du, I haven't seen you so happy for a long time."
Du Ziyuan thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes, you can't be too happy. If you are too happy, accidents will happen. A Zhu, go quickly."
At one o'clock that morning, Du Ziyuan, Qin Donghai, and Chi Hong negotiated closely for half an hour, and Chi Hong immediately went out to make arrangements. Du Ziyuan and Qin Donghai walked to the office of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Phnom Penh. Fortunately, the distance was not far.
It was not too far, it only took half an hour to walk. He and Qin Donghai walked leisurely.
Du Ziyuan went to the office this time for a very important matter, which was to try to rescue Zuo Shaoqing through diplomatic channels. In the past few days, comrades in the office have been in close contact with the Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs to discuss this matter
.
In the past few days, the Cambodian police also questioned Zuo Shaoqing. However, Zuo Shaoqing not only stated that he was from Taiwan, but also said that the two pistols and a dagger presented by the Cambodian police were for the mission. Others
Yes, not a word was said.
The Cambodian police have confirmed that the agents who are chasing this woman are agents from Taiwan. If this woman is handed over to people from Taiwan, her life will be directly threatened. This is inconsistent with Cambodia's purpose. Siha
Prince Nook's Cambodian "government" has always claimed that it upholds a peaceful and neutral stance.
But it seems inappropriate for the Cambodian side to hand over this woman directly to the Chinese side. After all, this woman admitted that she is from Taiwan. And behind Taiwan there are Americans.
Although Prince Sihanouk upholds an impartial stance in international affairs, he does have a very good impression of mainland China. So, handling this matter is very delicate.
Du Ziyuan was sitting in the office, and the two comrades responsible for handling the matter carefully analyzed all aspects of the matter to him. Their conclusion was that the matter was still very promising, but there was no need to rush now.[
But Du Ziyuan was very anxious about this. He just didn't show it on his face.
Du Ziyuan's entry into the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs' office in Phnom Penh was immediately reported urgently to Pan Qiwu by the secret agents monitoring him.
When Pan Qiwu and Metz heard the news, they looked at each other. They both understood that this seemed to be a good opportunity.
In this way, Pan Qiwu, Mei Si, and Jiang Shanyan were all sitting in the Phnom Penh Hotel, studying the map carefully, especially the roads from the office to the small hotel. At the same time, Pan Qiwu ordered to send more manpower
, closely monitored outside the ** mainland office.
Du Ziyuan stayed in the office for a whole day. This made Mei Si and Pan Qiwu very puzzled. Why did he want to stay in the office for a whole day?
In the evening, the agents monitoring Du Ziyuan and Qin Donghai finally discovered that they had left the office. But not far after they walked out of the door, another person ran out of the office and called them to stop. They stood on the street and said
After a few words, the agents discovered that Du Ziyuan and Qin Donghai followed the man back to the office.
This situation made Pan Qiwu and Metz very confused. It seemed that the government was carrying out some conspiracy, but they did not see it. These two agents, who considered themselves to be wily and sophisticated, repeatedly analyzed and judged, but still did not find any flaws. Pan Qiwu warned
Jiang Shanyan was cautious and sent people to closely monitor the front and back doors of the office to make sure there was no oversight.
However, they also drew a conclusion from the details of Du Ziyuan's return. Du Ziyuan would definitely return to the small hotel tonight, and he would be on foot, with only one young man accompanying him.
At around nine o'clock in the night, Jiang Shanyan received a report from his agent, saying that Du Ziyuan and the young man still had not left the office. He also said that several rooms in the office had lights on, and there were many people inside, who seemed to be very busy.
Busy look.
Pan Qiwu finally made up his mind to ambush Du Ziyuan tonight.
He and Jiang Shanyan set up an ambush at an intersection that must be passed from the office to the small hotel. The terrain here is complex, the lights are unclear, and there are corners everywhere where people can hide. Jiang Shanyan arranged cars at both ends of the street intersection and determined
After giving the signal to take action, the seven agents dispersed and disappeared into the dark corners of the surrounding area.
All that's left is to wait for Du Ziyuan, deputy director of the Second Bureau of the Investigation Department, to show up.
By this time, Pan Qiwu had returned to the Phnom Penh Hotel and was sitting with Metz. They both looked at the phone on the table. This phone went directly to the public phone booth where Jiang Shanyan was hiding.
As the night progressed, Pan Qiwu's living room became extremely quiet. They each had their own thoughts and were wary of each other.
Pan Qiwu smiled at Metz and said softly: "Mr. Metz, you are not strict enough about the Cam Ranh Bay incident."
Metz knew that he was referring to Zuo Shaoqing's glimpse of Ruan Qibo's assassination, so he nodded and said: "That incident was indeed an accident, and it was not foreseeable in advance. However, there is still room for redemption.
"
Pan Qiwu also nodded, "I hope so. Otherwise, if the Japanese master atomic weapons, the consequences will be too serious, and we cannot afford it."
Pan Qiwu suddenly smiled and said: "Mr. Metz, let me just ask, I am bringing people out this time, it should be the result of your discussion with Ye Gongjin, right?"
Metz thought for a moment and said calmly: "Mr. Pan, I hope we will have another chance to cooperate in the future."
This confirmed Pan Qiwu's conjecture that Ye Gongjin had a back-up plan to deal with Zuo Shaoqing. Moreover, it was very likely that he also conspired with Metz.
At this time, a grandfather clock in the corner made a clanging sound, and it was already twelve o'clock at night. Pan Qiwu and Metz looked at each other, fell silent, and both quietly listened to the movement in the corridor outside the door.
They all heard slight footsteps coming from outside, and then there was a knock on the door.
Pan Qiwu was a little dissatisfied. If there was a result, Jiang Shanyan should have called. But he still got up and opened the door.
However, as soon as the door opened, two pistols came in and were pressed directly against his forehead. One of them opened the door forcefully and grabbed Pan Qiwu's collar while still putting the gun against his forehead and holding him.
He stepped back. The other person rushed in and pointed his pistol at Mace, who had just stood up.
They moved quickly and quickly checked Pan Qiwu and Metz to confirm that there were no weapons. Then they sat down on the sofa, stood behind them, and pressed the cold muzzles of their guns against the backs of their necks.
Pan Qiwu immediately realized that he had been cheated by Du Ziyuan. He was a little surprised to notice that the door was still open, which meant that there was someone outside. Sure enough, a few minutes later, he saw Chi, the leader of the intelligence team, who was in Phnom Penh.
Hong appeared at the door. The one he brought in was the only guard left by Pan Qiwu. The others were taken away by Jiang Shanyan to participate in the ambush operation.
Chi Hong walked the guard to the wall and asked him to squat down. Chi Hong walked behind the door and stood quietly.
It was only then that Pan Qiwu fully understood that both he and Metz had been fooled. They had fallen for an old trick, the fifteenth of the thirty-six strategies: to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
