However, Du Ziyuan remained calm and just stared at Long Jinyun silently. He asked calmly: "Xiaolong, why are you here?"
Long Jinyun also looked at Du Ziyuan, his hands twisted together uneasily, and his lips trembled slightly.
She continued: "Lao Du, I know this matter is very important. I dare not tell others, and I dare not say it in the bureau. After much thought, I must tell you as soon as possible. I have no other way, so I will tell the bureau
I told a lie, saying that I still had some things in Beijing and wanted to take them back to Wuhan. Just like that, the bureau approved me for three days' leave. I got here this morning. I couldn't enter the gate and the guard wouldn't let me in. So,
I can only wait for you here."
"How long have you been waiting?" Du Ziyuan asked softly.
"I have been waiting all day. From morning until now. Lao Du, I will not mistake her."
"Have you eaten?" Du Ziyuan asked calmly.
"No." Her voice dropped.
"You haven't eaten since morning until now?"
"Yes." Long Jinyun looked at him uneasily.
Du Ziyuan didn't seem to be moved by this unexpected news. He said: "Let's do this. Donghai, you send Xiaolong to the guest house, buy her food and let her stay for one night. Tomorrow morning, you send him to the train station,
Go back to Wuhan."
Qin Donghai said: "Yes, I will arrange it."
Long Jinyun became nervous, "Old Du, please believe what I said."
Du Ziyuan looked at her, "Xiaolong, you go back first. Your three-day leave is about to expire. If necessary, I will go to Wuhan to find you. That's it, you get in the car."
At this time, Long Jinyun looked at Du Ziyuan silently. She finally understood that the old Du in front of her did not believe her words, at least not completely. Tears welled up in her eyes again. She understood that at this time, no matter how much
There was no use saying anything. She slowly got into the car and looked at Du Ziyuan outside the car in a daze.
Du Ziyuan and Chu Bolin stood on the side of the road, watching the jeep go away.
He said: "Berlin, it's almost dawn, let's go back to the work and spend the night together."
Chu Bolin had actually seen what Du Ziyuan was thinking, but he didn't dare to say a word at this time.
Whether in the intelligence system or in an ordinary unit, at the critical moment before your superiors make a decision, never say too much. This is a rule of life.
Du Ziyuan's thoughts at this time were actually very simple. He did not believe Long Jinyun's words.
In such a situation, Chinese people have an extremely vulgar saying, but it explains Long Jinyun's situation extremely accurately: if a new daughter-in-law cooks rice for the first time, she will never get the favor of her mother-in-law!
If a newcomer wants to start a new business in a new unit, it is crucial to complete the first task well, no matter how small it is.
Du Ziyuan's judgment of Long Jinyun was based on the following points: first, she was just a novice, and her glance at people may not be accurate. Second, she and Zuo Shaoqing only met once in Phnom Penh, but they happened to see Zuo Shaoqing again in Wuhan.
Shaoqing, what a coincidence. Thirdly, maybe she wanted to return to the Central Media Department, and intentionally or unintentionally, she mistook a similar-looking person on the street for Zuo Shaoqing.
Du Ziyuan felt calmer. He told himself not to be influenced by Long Jinyun when making decisions the next day. Lao Luo said to him: "You have no room for failure!" The words were still ringing in his ears!
At this time, Qin Donghai drove Long Jinyun into the city.
Along the way, Long Jinyun was shedding tears silently. She was an extremely smart girl, and she had already vaguely felt that Du Ziyuan did not completely believe her words. The pain in her heart at this time was really indescribable.
All Qin Donghai could do was to hand her a handkerchief and ask her to wipe her tears.
As I said before, in any intelligence agency, systems and rules are made of steel. Although Qin Donghai loved Long Jinyun deeply and believed in what she said, he did not dare to reveal any meaning that was different from Du Ziyuan.
It was almost dawn at this time. After dawn, there was a train going directly to Wuhan. Long Jinyun actually had no problem with accommodation. Therefore, Qin Donghai took her directly to a small restaurant south of Wangfujing to eat.
This small restaurant is actually a point in the Central Adjustment Department system.
Behind this small restaurant is the secret place where Lao Luo and Docharov met. This small restaurant existed for many years and was later converted into a photo studio. However, its mission has not changed.
I wonder if anyone still remembers that photo studio today. Now, this photo studio has been demolished and replaced by the southeast exit of Wangfujing Subway Station.
In this small restaurant that would eventually disappear, Qin Donghai spent all his money and ordered Long Jinyun a large bowl of pork ribs and pickled cabbage noodles, a plate of golden-fried pot stickers, a plate of beef and a plate of cucumbers. He saw
The way she ate the noodles showed that she was really hungry.
"Xiaolong," he asked softly, "have you been standing on that roadside since morning?"
"Yes." Long Jinyun's eyes were full of sadness.
"You haven't eaten all day?" Qin Donghai looked at her with concern.
"There's no place selling food around there," she said softly.
"Are you just waiting like that?" Qin Donghai asked sadly.
Long Jinyun raised his head and looked at the gradually brightening sky outside, like a helpless laggard in the wilderness.
She said softly: "I couldn't get through the gate of the Central Adjustment Department, and I was afraid of attracting other people's attention, so I had to wait on the side of the road. I know Lao Du's car, and I hope he can see me." She looked into Qin Donghai's eyes, "
I really saw Zuo Shaoqing. Do you believe what I say?"
But Qin Donghai didn't dare to say anything. He had already guessed what Du Ziyuan was thinking.
He just asked: "You said you were dumped by her, why?" What he was thinking was that although Long Jinyun was a novice, he was trained after all. Tracking suspects was the basic ability of intelligence officers.
Long Jinyun sighed, "I had just bought a large bundle of letter paper and envelopes, which were very heavy. I couldn't keep up with her."
Qin Donghai nodded and whispered: "Next time, if you throw all these things away, maybe you can keep up."
Long Jinyun looked at him silently, looking into his eyes that concealed encouragement and trust.
She is a smart person and vaguely understood that there were hints hidden in Qin Donghai's words. What he meant was that he believed that Long Jinyun had seen Zuo Shaoqing. This was the first hint. The second hint would be if she could see Zuo Shaoqing again in the future.
It would be best if Zuo Shaoqing followed up. She understood this. Therefore, the third hint was that she wanted to change her current destiny. This was almost her only chance.
Long Jinyun looked at Qin Donghai silently, thinking about this only opportunity in his heart.
After dinner, Qin Donghai sent Long Jinyun to the "Zhengyangmen East" train station. This station was also called the "Qianmen" train station and was the largest train station in Beijing at the time. After the new Beijing Station came into use, this train
The station is no longer in use. However, people can still see the train station today. It is now a museum.
Qin Donghai watched Long Jinyun get on the train. He still had many things to say to her, but now was obviously not the right opportunity. He could only wish her good luck in his heart.
At around ten o'clock in the morning, when Qin Donghai drove back to the Central Adjustment Department, he realized that the current situation had undergone major changes. What he immediately thought of was that Long Jinyun's fate seemed to have some kind of turning point.
Just before Qin Donghai returned, Du Ziyuan received two pieces of information, which were extremely important.
The first one was told by the director of the Telecommunications Division of the Third Bureau in a hurry. The radio signal that disappeared from Jinan actually appeared in Wuhan last night. Its transmission method was immediately confirmed by the monitor. The Telecommunications Division had no control over this radio station.
The signal underwent multi-point direction finding and it was confirmed that the signal came from Wuhan.
When Du Ziyuan got the news, he also thought about Long Jinyun seeing Zuo Shaoqing. He had a vague feeling that there seemed to be some special connection between the two. He regretted a little, maybe he shouldn't have taken Long Jinyun so early.
Send away.
The second message was sent personally by Director Lao Luo. This is a secret information from Taiwan. The main message is that the Jinan Zhao Minggui Group has been personally controlled by Pan in recent days. There may be special tasks, so please pay attention.
Du Ziyuan was surprised and surprised when he saw this information. He knew Zhao Minggui. When he was protecting the "Locust Tree" in Nanjing, this Zhao Minggui was one of his most dangerous opponents. If it weren't for Zuo Shaoqing's decisiveness at that time, that plate would have been destroyed
The fatal recording is given to Mao Renfeng, and "Sophora Tree" is very likely to fall into the clutches of the devil.
Now not only Zhao Minggui, but also his team have all arrived in Wuhan, and are under the personal control of "Pan", Pan Qiwu, the deputy director of the Taiwan Intelligence Bureau. This situation is very different, which also makes Du Ziyuan very vigilant.
The most important point here is that "recently" means things that happened "recently". Du Ziyuan's "special situation" activities in "recently" made Du Ziyuan have a premonition that they might be related to Zuo Shaoqing, and more likely to be related to South Vietnam.
Related to the assassination of Secretary-General Ruan Qibo.
Du Ziyuan's final decision was made immediately driven by these two pieces of news: go to Wuhan.
His second decision was made after Qin Donghai came back. He said: "Donghai, after arriving in Wuhan, you should keep in touch with Long Jinyun. It is a secret contact."
Qin Donghai immediately nodded to him, "Yes, I understand." He felt relaxed in his heart. It was that kind of very beautiful relaxation that gave him a glimmer of hope.
He understood that Long Jinyun was the only person who had met Zuo Shaoqing so far. He naturally thought that this was most likely a turning point in Long Jinyun's fate.
But, next, Du Ziyuan encountered another big problem, he had no one under his command.
Tracking the "Water Hyacinth" and investigating the assassination of Ruan Qibo are currently the most top-secret and important tasks in Du Ziyuan's hands. He can only rely on Chu Bolin and Qin Donghai now. But Chu Bolin's Asia Department also has many other responsibilities.
It is impossible for him to go to Wuhan with him separately. In this way, Du Ziyuan only has Qin Donghai available. This is far from enough. But who else can he look for?
