Most of these comrades have undertaken extremely secret and important tasks, which no longer surprises him. He himself has undertaken the important task of protecting the "Locust Tree".
What shocked him was that these people's resumes more or less involved some people and things that he had never imagined.
Du Ziyuan has been working on the hidden front for a long time, and after liberation he worked in multiple intelligence systems. He has been exposed to, participated in, or been involved in many major secrets. In addition, there are many secrets that he has not been involved in, but they occasionally enter his
ears, leaving some fragments in his mind, or just accidental awareness.
However, when he saw the people and things involved in these people's resumes that he would never have imagined, these fragments or perceptions would be confirmed and connected, forming a generally complete picture, one that shocked him.
picture.
A comrade he had never paid special attention to was ordinary and steady, and spoke softly to others. He was actually the secret liaison of a certain first-level Kuomintang general. Du Ziyuan had been treating this first-level Kuomintang general for a long time.
The doubts and confusions that had long existed in his heart were suddenly solved at this moment. He couldn't help but think that the key to the smooth liberation of Northeast China was here!
A secretary to a minister of the Central People's Government works in Beijing and does many trivial tasks diligently every day. However, his identity as a member of the Communist Party has not been made public so far. He is listed in Lao Ma's file.
For top secret.
A comrade was transferred to Fushun War Criminals Management Office two years ago. However, the file stated that his task was to maintain secret contact with a certain war criminal.
A lesbian has never worked in the intelligence system. But now she is in prison for a felony. But her mission is in the file, although the mission is not specified.
There was another person who was originally a section chief of the Central Ministry of Social Work, but he absconded in disguise in early 1955 and was jointly pursued by the Ministry of Public Security and the Intelligence Department of the General Staff. Although this matter was kept strictly confidential, it still shocked the party at the time.
Within the internal army. But this person finally escaped to Taiwan.[
As soon as Du Ziyuan saw this file and this person's name, there was a roar in his head. He could hardly believe his eyes. He once pursued this person under the strict order of the deputy minister, but he was accidentally killed by him at the last moment.
Escape. This man's name is Zheng Yuanshan, and he is someone Du Ziyuan will never forget.
That failed pursuit was a shame that Du Ziyuan could never forget.
Suddenly, many past events came to him like a rising tide, drowning not only him, but also the small office where he was. Du Ziyuan instantly fell into the memories of past events.
It was early 1955, and the Central Investigation Department had not yet been established. At that time, he was still working in the Liaison Department of the General Staff, responsible for intelligence work in Asia. Intelligence work on Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan was not actually within the scope of his investigation. However,
He heard about this incident by chance. He also noticed that everyone in the Intelligence Department of the General Staff looked nervous and worked overtime all night. He also heard that many people were sent out to hunt down this man named Zheng Yuanshan.
people.
The most important thing he knew was that Zheng Yuanshan knew many secrets of various domestic intelligence systems. When he absconded in disguise, he also took away a large number of top-secret documents. When Du Ziyuan heard the news, he was extremely shocked.
Du Ziyuan later remembered that in early 1946, when he first reported to the Intelligence Department of the North China Bureau, he had had several brief contacts with Zheng Yuanshan. This Zheng Yuanshan impressed him as a very calm and capable person.
But just when he heard about this incident, he received an urgent notice to meet Vice Minister Xiang.
Vice Minister Xiang was the Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs at that time. But he also had another position, that of Director of the Liaison Department of the General Staff. He was Du Ziyuan's highest superior. But Du Ziyuan rarely saw this highest superior. All the comrades in the Liaison Department were there.
He was called "Xiangbu" behind his back.
That day, Du Ziyuan was very nervous. The Liaison Department asked the minister to summon him. This was the first time since he arrived at the Liaison Department of the General Staff. He urgently checked all the work in hand and made sure he knew what he was doing, and then hurried to see "Xiang Xiang."
department".
The office of "Xiangbu" is located in the small Western-style building in Shidaren Hutong, with two rooms inside and outside.
There were armed guards with tall figures and serious faces outside the office door. They asked Du Ziyuan's name and checked the registration book in their hands before opening the door for him and letting him in.
There were two people sitting outside the office. One was Deputy Minister Xiang's secretary, whom Du Ziyuan had known for a long time. The other person was actually an armed guard, but in plain clothes.
When Deputy Minister Xiang's secretary saw him coming in, he immediately asked him to sit down on a chair by the wall, and then went into the back office. After a moment, he came out, waved to Du Ziyuan loudly, and motioned for him to come in quickly.
Du Ziyuan took out his notebook from his pocket and hurriedly walked into the back room.
The office of "Xiangbu" is a large room. Through the tall carved doors, bright sunlight fills the entire room. The surrounding walls are tall dark maroon bookshelves. But there are very few books in the bookshelves.
Most of them are various folders, brown paper bags or files of varying thicknesses.[
Du Ziyuan saw that in front of the large bookshelf, there was a long table, which was also filled with various folders, brown paper bags or files. He could see that this long table was probably for Deputy Minister Xiang Xiang.
A place where you usually work.
At this time, Vice Minister Xiang had just stood up from the long table, and immediately pointed to the chair opposite the desk to Du Ziyuan, gesturing for him to sit down.
The first thing Vice Minister Xiang said when he sat down behind his desk was, "Comrade Ziyuan, I called you here today to put down the work at hand and go to Hong Kong immediately to find a person. Find him and immediately
Bring him back!"
Du Ziyuan stared at Vice Minister Xiang silently and said nothing. Although Vice Minister Xiang did not explain who he was, he had a hunch that it might be Zheng Yuanshan. As an intelligence officer, he has very sensitive feelings. However, in the final analysis, although he is responsible
Intelligence work in Asia, but Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan were not within the scope of his work. But he said nothing at this time and just looked at Vice Minister Xiang quietly.
Vice Minister Xiang's usually kind face turned serious, and his eyes were staring at Du Ziyuan like an eagle.
He was silent for a moment, and then said: "You know Zheng Yuanshan, or have met him." He didn't need Du Ziyuan to answer. He waved his hands and paused, almost gritting his teeth and said: "He ran away! He took him with him
Many important secrets have escaped! He is running from Hong Kong to Taiwan!"
Du Ziyuan heard it, which meant that Zheng Yuanshan had now fled to Hong Kong.
His heart couldn't help shrinking. Zheng Yuanshan had already arrived in Hong Kong! It would be very easy for him to go to Taiwan. He could run to Taiwan almost at any time. However, Vice Minister Xiang wanted him to arrest Zheng Yuanshan.
Come back. But he is still in Beijing at this time! He still hasn't spoken. He can't speak.
Deputy Minister Xiang stared at him, slowed down and said, "We have been investigating him recently. He noticed it. He put on makeup, deceived the people who were monitoring him, and ran away! People from the Ministry of Public Security and the Intelligence Department of the General Staff came together
Track him. But he was prepared. First he flew to Guangzhou, and then crossed the border to Hong Kong! Someone from Taiwan met him at the Hong Kong border! Du Ziyuan, your mission is to go to Hong Kong to find him and bring him back!
You leave today! The things you need, such as entry visas, will be delivered directly to the airport!"
That night, Du Ziyuan and Chu Bolin took a few elite subordinates on a military plane that had been prepared for them and flew south in an emergency. At the airport, someone handed him a large brown paper bag. He saw
After taking a look, there were everyone's IDs and identity information inside. In addition, there was information about Zheng Yuanshan. But this information was extremely simple, and it didn't even explain what was wrong with him.
Du Ziyuan felt that there was something strange about this mission.
At that time, there were no domestic planes that could fly directly to Hong Kong, or even international flights to Hong Kong. Therefore, their first step was to fly to the military airport in Huizhou, Guangdong, where the 9th Air Force Division was based.
What Du Ziyuan didn't expect was that the chief of staff of the 9th Air Division personally supervised the flight. He had already arranged a car to take Du Ziyuan to Luohu Port. This is the most convenient way to Hong Kong.
Vice Minister Xiang had already arranged everything in Beijing. At Luohu Port, people from the local public security department led Du Ziyuan and others through a special passage directly into Hong Kong.
Du Ziyuan remembered it very clearly. The weather that day was just like his mood, gloomy and depressing. As soon as the military plane he was riding landed in Huizhou, they were greeted by a continuous rain. Although the car was parked directly next to the plane,
But it still rained, and everyone was wet.
After passing the Luohu Port, he was greeted by Huang Zuozhu, the president of the Hong Kong branch of Xinhua News Agency. Huang Zuozhu brought two cars and took Du Ziyuan and others directly to the Hong Kong branch.
When they arrived, security had been stepped up outside the Hong Kong branch. Some people in plain clothes, holding umbrellas or wearing raincoats, were standing guard near the branch.
In the winter in the south, when it rains continuously, it is cold and humid, which makes people from the north very unaccustomed. Du Ziyuan and others got out of the car and hurried to the Hong Kong branch. He was cold on the body, but in his heart
But it was already on fire.
About ten minutes after Du Ziyuan entered the Hong Kong branch, as God would have it, Zuo Shaoqing, whom he always cared about, slowly walked over from the other side holding an umbrella. She was choosing from the newsstand next to the Hong Kong branch.
Newspapers and magazines, while quietly observing the security personnel holding umbrellas or wearing raincoats. She guessed in her mind what exactly happened here.
