The office is very quiet. The sunshine outside is very good, and the warm breeze of early summer is blowing loudly at the people in the office.
However, the investigation of Zuo Shaoqing finally made Cheng Yunfa's temper unbearable. He threw down the surveillance report in his hand, opened his mouth and cursed: "Why should we investigate! Just pull Zuo Shao out and kill him.
Do you still need to put in so much effort? I can’t stand it anymore, so I’m quitting!” He stood up.
Zhao Minggui sat next to him. Inspired by his influence, he also threw the surveillance report in his hand on the table. He kept shaking his head and said in agreement: "No, no. Come on, brother, let's go out and have a cigarette."
He followed Cheng Yunfa and walked out. When he was about to go out, he actually turned back to You Shaoqing and said: "Good girl, you go on, go on, I leave all this to you."
Zhao Minggui and Cheng Yunfa made strange gestures to each other, laughing loudly, taking out their cigarettes and walking out.
You Shaoqing sat at the table and stared at them, feeling very unhappy, but there was nothing she could do about it. These days, she had to temporarily put aside the "Nanjing University Student Union Case" and the "Xiaguan Arms Case" and focus all her energy on the "Left
The so-called "Zuo Case Personnel Investigation" above refers to the people Zuo Shaoqing met after he came back from Xufu Lane.
It has been more than twenty days since Zuo Shaoqing came back from Xufu Lane. She has met nearly a hundred people. Most of them have been eliminated, and there are still twenty or thirty people to be investigated. However, the more she investigates, the more...
It gives people no confidence. In recent days, even senior military officials like Wang Zhenqing and unscrupulous businessmen like Zhang Bowei have been included in the investigation, which shows that this investigation has reached a dead end.
Now, not only Cheng Yunfa has lost interest in this matter, but even a rational person like Zhao Minggui has relaxed. Zhao Minggui was originally somewhat doubtful about whether Zuo Shaoqing was a Communist. At first, he gave Ye Gongjin suggestions, saying that these two
Shaoqing, you can keep either Shaoqing, or simply get rid of both Shaoqings. I have been checking here and there in the past few days, but I haven't found anyone suspicious, so the doubts in my heart are even greater. He just didn't say it out loud.
But all these tasks were left to You Shaoqing.
You Shaoqing has no doubts in her heart. Whether she has been impersonated or not, only she knows best. She knows now that investigating all the people Zuo Shaoqing has met is an effective way. Therefore, she
Although she was angry, she still took over all the work without any complaints in her heart. She just felt that her sister was hiding too deeply.
However, You Shaoqing is an elite agent who has undergone rigorous training. She especially understands that intelligence analysis requires meticulousness and patience, and what she wants is to look for clues. She also needs a smart and sharp brain that can combine irrelevant clues.
Get in touch.
She collected information about these people every day and analyzed the surveillance reports sent by her subordinates every day, and finally she found some signs. She did not tell Cheng Yunfa and Zhao Minggui about this situation. After all, it was just a sign, not clear enough. She hoped to let this clue
After being clearer, it can surprise both Cheng Yunfa and Zhao Minggui.
The man she found was a businessman who was engaged in black and white business. With a sharp tongue, he obtained scarce supplies, hoarded them, and made the country difficult to make money.
You Shaoqing discovered that in the past few days, this suspicious person had met Zuo Shaoqing several times. You Shaoqing was thinking in his heart, what could happen to such a businessman, who had to often meet with Zuo Shaoqing?
What about meeting? This is what You Shaoqing is confused about. Could it be that he is Zuo Shaoqing’s contact person?
In the next few days, she took several brothers to personally monitor and follow this man, observed him carefully, and took several close-up photos of him. What was especially rare was that she took a picture of this man and
Zuo Shaoqing, standing outside the "revolving door" private room, was whispering to each other. It seemed to be a photo of a secret conversation. In the photo, Zuo Shaoqing's face was very serious. What they were talking about seemed to be a very serious matter.
A few days later, when You Shaoqing calmly placed this photo in front of Cheng Yunfa and Zhao Minggui, the two of them were really as surprised as she thought.
Cheng Yunfa opened his eyes wide and asked, "Young Master, who is this?"
You Shaoqing looked at him and smiled, "A businessman, at least on the surface. His name is Liang Fucheng."
When officials see this name, they will guess that this person has some relationship with Liang Jicheng, the head of Lao Li's intelligence team in Nanjing. Indeed, he is Liang Jicheng's brother.
Zhao Minggui looked at this photo, his eyes were already shining, and he murmured: "This matter is a bit interesting, a bit interesting. Go up, they are talking about something very important, aren't they?"
Cheng Yunfa said loudly: "It goes without saying, go and arrest this guy!"
Zhao Minggui stretched out his hand to stop him, "Lao Cheng, wait a minute, don't be impatient." With alertness and sophistication hidden in his eyes, he looked at You Shaoqing calmly, "Young Shaoqing, what do you think we should do about this?"
Only then did Cheng Yunfa realize that this matter was a clue found by You Shaoqing, and he should respect her opinion first. He said: "You Shaoqing, tell me, do you agree to arrest this person first?"
But You Shaoqing was very calm. She also showed Zhao Minggui's caution and said softly: "It's up to you what you want."
Zhao Minggui patted his head and said, "Young Master You is right, what do we want? Lao Cheng, what do you think?"
Cheng Yunfa still didn't quite understand, "What else do you want? Arrest and interrogate, you want whatever you want."
Zhao Minggui shook his head, "Lao Cheng, do you want Young Master Zuo or the big fish behind her?"
Cheng Yunfa turned his eyes again and again, and then he realized that if he could catch the big fish behind Zuo Shaoqing, that would be a greater achievement. "Oh, Lao Zhao, I'm afraid that even this guy named Liang will be caught."
Already."
You Shaoqing smiled proudly and said: "Old Cheng, you don't have to worry. I have arranged for people at his home and several places he frequents, including the revolving door, so he can't fly."
Zhao Minggui and Cheng Yun looked at her, laughed, and extended their thumbs to her.
However, none of them expected that Zuo Shaoqing was extremely alert and had already become suspicious of Liang Fucheng at this time.
Before Zuo Shaoqing went to Xufu Lane, he knew Liang Fucheng, an inconspicuous businessman. At that time, in order to conceal his identity, Zhang Bowei would often invite three or five of his companions to invite Zuo Shaoqing to dinner together, in order to establish a relationship.
, An was exchanging information with Zuo Shaoqing. They stood in the corner of the private room and said everything they wanted to say. Others thought they were making a secret deal. Liang Fucheng was also there. He didn't speak much.
But Zuo Shaoqing could figure out that he could be considered a smart man.
However, in recent days, this Liang Fucheng has been too smart.
The reason was that a few nights ago, his younger brother Liang Jicheng quietly came to his home to visit his son Shitou.
Liang Fucheng was over fifty and had only two daughters, both of whom had grown up, got married, and lived separately. Liang Fucheng had no children, which became his biggest regret. He once discussed concubinage with his wife.
But there was no result. This made him feel very unhappy. Although his family fortune was not big, he always hoped to have a son to inherit it. Of course, the most important thing was to inherit the incense of the Liang family.
His younger brother Liang Jicheng ran away from home before the Anti-Japanese War and went out to work outside. The little information he got was that his younger brother had joined the New Fourth Army and was a die-hard Communist Party member. Liang Fucheng sighed deeply when he got this news.
The situation on the battlefield was that his younger brother might die in the war at some point. So, wouldn't the Liang family's incense be cut off? For several years, the issue of inheriting the Liang family's incense has become the biggest concern in his mind.
A year ago, his brother Liang Jicheng suddenly came home quietly and brought his five-year-old son Shitou. He said: "Brother, I want to foster my son with you, is that okay?"
Liang Fucheng was overjoyed when he saw his little nephew, who looked like a tiger-headed nephew. He hugged him in his arms and never let go. He nodded in agreement to his brother's request.
But as soon as his brother left, a deep concern came to his mind, which kept him up all night. At that time, the peace talks between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party had broken down, and the two sides were fighting to the death. Liang Fucheng thought with great worry that if something happened to his brother, he would definitely...
If he, his elder brother, is implicated, Shitou will also be implicated. "This is the only root of the Liang family!" This matter is what worries him the most, and it is also something he thinks about all the time.
A few nights ago, they were getting ready to go to bed when they heard someone knocking lightly on the door outside.
Liang Fucheng's heart skipped a beat, and he was a little scared. None of his acquaintances came to visit at this time, let alone knocking on the door like this. The first thing he thought of might be his younger brother. He hurried to the door and gently
When he opened the door, his brother Liang Jigong was standing outside. He pulled his brother in and carefully walked out of the door. Then he closed the door and turned around to let his brother go to the back room.
In the back room, Liang Fucheng's wife was helping Shi Shi undress and preparing to coax him to sleep. When Shi Shi saw his father coming in, he was stunned for a moment and then jumped up. None of the children who grew up in the base area yelled.
He was used to it. Without saying a word, he stood on the edge of the bed and jumped into his father's arms. Liang Jicheng took one step over before catching him and holding him in his arms.
The father and son have big eyes and small eyes, their faces are full of smiles, and their eyes are full of excitement and nostalgia.
When Liang Jicheng hugged his son, he looked more like a loving father, grinning widely. His son looked very healthy. He had a ruddy complexion, black hair, and bright eyes. He was heavy in his arms. It can be seen that neither his brother nor his sister-in-law were healthy.
I have treated this child badly.
Liang Jicheng hugged his son and sat down by the bed. Brother and sister-in-law said softly: "Brother, sister-in-law, thank you for taking such good care of the stone."
My sister-in-law said it first, "Brother, don't say that. They are all the flesh and blood of the Liang family. It's just a seedling. Can we not take care of it?"
Liang Fucheng was a little nervous, so he leaned into Liang Jicheng's ear and said, "Brother, let Shitou sleep. Let's go to the outer room and have a few words."
Liang Jicheng coaxed and coaxed his son, promising to come to him again in the future, and then handed his son over to his sister-in-law.
Liang Fucheng led his younger brother to the outhouse, poured him a glass of water first, and then lit cigarettes and sat down at the dining table. They were brothers after all. No matter how smooth the elder brother was, and how tough the younger brother was, in his eyes at this time,
It's all about brotherhood.
The room was silent at this time, and a lamp on the coffee table dimly illuminated the brothers.
Liang Jicheng first said: "Brother, I just have a little free time. I just came and I have to leave soon."
Liang Fucheng patted his arm and signaled him not to worry. He thought for a moment and said, "Brother, the stone is here with me, so don't worry. If there is a mouthful of rice, the stone eats it first; if there is a piece of clothing, the stone wears it first."
Your sister-in-law is right, the Liang family only has a small seedling, and I will take good care of him. Don’t worry about this."
Liang Jicheng said: "Brother, I know. The stone is so well maintained, I have seen it. Thank you and sister-in-law."
Liang Fucheng's eyes were heavy, "Brother, this is not the main thing. The main thing is you. Are you still doing it over there?"
Liang Jicheng understood what he meant, nodded and said, "Yes."
At this time, Liang Fucheng's face showed anxiety and uneasiness, "Oh, you... just live with your head tucked into the waistband of your pants. It's so tense outside now. If something happens to you, what will Shitou do?
?Have you ever thought about it?"
Liang Jicheng looked at his brother steadily and whispered: "Brother, I will be careful. Besides, even if something happens to me, I will not implicate you."
Liang Fucheng hurriedly waved his hand to him, "Brother, I'm not afraid that you will be implicated. What I'm worried about is Shitou. The Liang family is just a seedling. What if Shitou gets implicated by you...that's great."
Liang Jicheng was speechless when he heard this. His wife died on the battlefield and left nothing behind, leaving him with such a son. After all, this was his own son. How could he feel relieved? He passed
After a while, he said: "Brother, I will be careful."
Liang Fucheng added: "Brother, I have something you may not like to hear. But after much thought, I have only one solution. I say, quit and don't do it again. My wife's life is at stake.
You can't risk your own life or the life of a stone. Even if I beg you."
Liang Jicheng stared at him intently, with the past events blurring before his eyes. The eldest brother is like a father, and he was brought up by his brother since he was a child. Although they have different temperaments and different ambitions, his brother raised him, and this family relationship still exists. But
He thought for a while and shook his head, "Brother, we are not going to talk about this again. Stop talking about it. I will not withdraw."
Liang Jicheng's eyes were in a trance. The war was cruel. How many of his good brothers died in the war. They didn't leave any sons behind. Liang Jicheng thought of this and said softly: "Brother, so many of my brothers have died. I
You can't do anything wrong to them just for the sake of stones."
Liang Fucheng became anxious when he heard this, "Then how long are you going to work? When will you be the leader? I know that the government is not good and bad. But the problem is, there are Americans behind the government.
.Are the Japanese powerful, and are the Germans powerful? How about it, weren't they all defeated by the Americans? Can you do it? It doesn't matter what you want, there are only a few small pieces of territory left, can you do it?"
Liang Jicheng's face was stern and angry, "Brother, I have a lifetime, and I will spend my whole life fighting with them. We will definitely win the world, we will!" He stood up, "I'm leaving, in a while
I will come again someday."
Liang Fucheng knew that he could not convince his brother. After sending his brother away, he still sat at the table in a daze, like a wooden sculpture, motionless. He was thinking, Stone is the only seedling of the Liang family, and you are the father.
I don’t care. As an uncle, I can’t care less!
Liang Fucheng has been in business all his life, relying on careful calculation and opportunism. He believes that money can communicate with the gods. With money, there is no impassable road, and a path can be found even in the cracks of rocks. He
The idea in his mind was directed towards Zuo Shaoqing. He felt that this person might be able to help him.
The next day, Liang Fucheng first approached Zhang Bowei and said that he would invite some friends to have dinner with the young team leader.
Zhang Bowei laughed heartily, with a sly look in his little eyes, and said, "Brother, is there any trouble?"
Liang Fucheng said hurriedly: "No, no, just let's get together and connect with each other."
At the dinner table, he frequently toasted to Zuo Shaoqing and said: "Young team leader is so busy, it is rare to find such a little time, so I must have a few more drinks."
Zuo Shaoqing and Zhang Bowei looked at each other. Although there was no danger, they still felt a little strange.
Two days later, Liang Fucheng quietly inquired that Zuo Shaoqing was in his private room. He considered the matter in his heart again and again and decided to take a risk.
Liang Fucheng quietly walked to the door of Zuo Shaoqing's private room. There was no one around, so he knocked lightly. He heard Zuo Shaoqing say: "Come in." He opened the door. He saw Liao Fengshan sitting at Shuiximen.
In the private room, I couldn't help but be stunned.
Zuo Shaoqing glanced at him, knowing that something was wrong with him. He stood up and said, "Mr. Liang, please come in. Are you okay?"
Liang Fucheng said hurriedly: "It's okay, it's okay. I just heard that you were here, so I came here to say hello. President Liao is also here. I haven't seen you for a long time."
Liao Fengshan narrowed his eyes and looked at him without speaking.
Zuo Shaoqing said: "Come and sit. President Liao and I are chatting."
Liang Fucheng said: "No need to disturb me. I just came to say hello. You guys chat, I'm leaving."
Even Liao Fengshan realized that Liang Fucheng had something to do, so he cooed at Zuo Shaoqing. Zuo Shaoqing smiled, then sent Liang Fucheng out and closed the door of the private room.
Zuo Shaoqing whispered: "Mr. Liang, is something wrong?"
Liang Fucheng was already a little panicked at this time. He said, "It's okay, it's okay." He rummaged around in his wallet and said, "Ah, young team leader, it's... that's right. I also know that you are very busy and have a lot of work."
It's hard work. But the income is not high. I have a little bit of fun here, please accept it, the young team leader." He said, took out a thick envelope from his bag and handed it to Zuo Shaoqing.
.
As soon as Zuo Shaoqing pinched it, he knew it was money. He said, "Mr. Liang, if you have something to say, there is no need to be like this."
By this time, Liang Fucheng was completely panicked, "Young team leader, I... I'm fine, I'm fine. This is just a trivial matter." He said and walked away.
Zuo Shaoqing was extremely shrewd. Thinking that he had often been around her these past few days and invited her to dinner, she was already suspicious. She gently pulled his arm and whispered: "Mr. Liang, we have known each other for a long time."
It’s been two days. There’s no one here. If you have anything to say, just say it.”
Liang Fucheng looked around. There was indeed no one in the corridor and it was very quiet. He hesitated again and again, and finally leaned into Zuo Shaoqing's ear and whispered: "Young team leader, I just want to ask casually, if... if...
"Over there," he pointed to the north, "if someone over there wants to come over, you... what will happen to you?"
Zuo Shaoqing remained calm, but her heart immediately became alert. She stared at Liang Fucheng sharply. She suddenly turned her eyes and saw Xu Xiaoyu walking towards the corridor carrying a tray. Then she said softly: "Mr. Liang,
It's not appropriate to talk today. Can you come to me again when you are free someday?"
Sweat broke out on Liang Fucheng's forehead. He nodded quickly and said, "Okay, okay, then I'll go, I'll go."
Liang Fucheng turned around and left in a hurry, as if he had received an amnesty.
Xu Xiaoyu had already walked to the door and whispered: "Miss Su, I'll give you some tea."
Zuo Shaoqing moved his chin towards the private room and let Xu Xiaoyu in, but kept staring at Liang Fucheng's back. This was another thing that made her suspicious. "The people over there?" Are they one of our own? Surrender? Rebellion?
?Absconding? Or, is this thing simply a trap? She is not sure, but suspicion is already weighing on her heart like a heavy mountain.
Zuo Shaoqing did not expect that just now, right Shaoqing was hiding in the corner behind the flower stand at the entrance of the corridor, holding up a camera and taking a photo of her talking to Liang Fucheng.
