"Did Haitang tell you this personally?" Gu Minzhang subconsciously confirmed after listening to Gu Xiaomeng's retelling.
"Yes, Dad. Sister Haitang said that she also intercepted the secret message, but according to her judgment, it did not come from the top military command, but it was most likely someone who deliberately did it and imitated the message."
"It doesn't matter if it's true or false! What we urgently need to know now is whether you have any exposed problems. That old fox Jin Shenghuo is not that easy to deal with! And that Li Ningyu, she saw through your unauthorized tampering with the deciphering results.
Instead of exposing it, she actually covered it up for you. She must have had her own purpose in doing so."
"Then...should we try to win her over?"
"No! Your experience and qualifications are not enough to carry out the task of instigating rebellion, especially under the nose of Jin Shenghuo. If you don't do it, you may be self-defeating and harm others and yourself."
"I know, Dad!" Hearing this, Gu Xiaomeng couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, "Then... what should I do now?"
"The only thing you should do now is forget that fake secret message."
"forget?"
"That's right! Just forget, forget that secret code! Paying attention to it may consume the possibility of you completing more important missions, such as the internal structural principles of the Enigma machine."
Hearing this, Gu Xiaomeng couldn't help but darken her face. She admitted her mistake like a child who made a mistake and said, "Dad, I... I'm afraid I have no chance."
"Why?"
"I..." Gu Xiaomeng hesitated for a long time, and then hesitantly told Li Ningyu that she wanted to leave the confidential area...
At the same time, in Li Ningyu's office.
"Ning Yu, I'm sorry, just now... I was a little too upset." Jin Shenghuo apologized to Li Ningyu sincerely.
Li Ningyu nodded slightly, "I don't dare."
After saying that, he walked straight to the desk, took out a resignation letter that had been prepared for a long time from the drawer, and handed it to Jin Shenghuo.
"Ning Yu! Um, Section Chief Li, what are you doing?"
"I'm going to resign!"
"Why?"
"What Director Jin just said, Gu Xiaomeng also said it two hours ago, and I understand it clearly. I am not Ruan Lingyu, but I am not Ruan Lingyu, but I am no match for the sword in my mouth. It seems that not only the secrets, but also the entire suppression is only
I'm afraid there won't be any room for me. However, I have anticipated this day, so I wrote this letter in advance. Now all that is left is your signature, Director."
"Okay, okay, Ning Yu. Don't be angry!" Jin Shenghuo's tone suddenly softened, and he advised earnestly, "Just now, I was too anxious. If there is any offense, I will give it to you another day.
Please apologize, there is no time now. If your judgment is true, then you, a genius, help me decipher it. Who is it and for what purpose is it forging such a message?"
A similar question was asked from the mouth of Ryukawa Hihara: "Chief Ming, since you said that this fake secret message was probably sent by Commander Zhang, why did he do this?"
"The reason is very simple, just two words, 'Qiuzhuang'!"
"Qiuzhuang?"
"That's right, it's Qiuzhuang! Colonel, don't forget. Commander Zhang received the telegram with 'Qiuzhuang' before, so he sent people on board with great enthusiasm."
"So, you suspect that the spy who reported the murder on the ship was the one who suppressed the general?"
"It's not that I doubt it, it's Commander Zhang. I guess he did this because he wanted to take over the colonel's hand and get rid of the person who sent him the Qiuzhuang telegram."
"Yes, that makes sense." Ryukawa Hihara nodded in agreement, "That is to say, as long as someone has a relationship with Qiu Zhuang, there is a possibility that he is a spy who commits murder and reports, right?"
"In my humble position, I can only confirm the murder and report it, but I am not a spy. I can't make a conclusion before there is more evidence."
"Very good. From now on, you will be responsible for secretly investigating the relationship between those five people and Qiuzhuang. Remember not to alert the enemy in the slightest, do you understand?"
"I understand the humble position!"
After saying that, Li Qiang said goodbye and left.
However, as soon as he left, Ryukawa Hihara glanced at the book "Good Marriage" on the desk, and then grabbed the phone in front of him, "Hello? It's me. Immediately call Director Wang Tianxiang of the Suppression General Secret Service.
I'll call."
…
"Director Jin, my job is only to decipher the secret messages. As for tracing the compiler behind the fake secret messages, this is not Director Li Ningyu's specialty, so I suggest Director Jin to question the anti-secret department." Faced with the request for help from his immediate boss Jin Shenghuo,
As a subordinate, Li Ningyu still replied extremely coldly.
However, Jin Shenghuo was not angry and continued to persuade: "I'm afraid that this fake secret message will turn out to be our confidential information!"
"Director Jin, I don't understand what you mean."
"The Telecommunications Section intercepted the message and handed it to me. I arranged for Gu Xiaomeng to decipher the message. You, Section Chief Li, checked the result of the message, then informed Bai Xiaonian and Secretary Bai, and reported the contents of the secret message to Commander Zhang. Finally, Commander Zhang
We arranged for Wu Zhiguo to carry out the arrest. The five of us together are a code ship!"
"No, one is missing."
"What did you say?"
"There is one person missing, that is Chief Ming. Chief Jin, please don't forget that he was also on the ship at that time."
"How could I forget such an important thing?" Jin Shenghuo said with a smile, "You don't know yet, right? All the affairs of the General Affairs Department these days are taken care of by Chief Ming's personal assistant, Acheng. Guess what?
, where has Chief Ming gone?"
"...Longchuan Feiyuan?" Li Ningyu blurted out almost subconsciously, "Director Jin, do you suspect it is Colonel Longchuan?"
"I just thought of it. Although this Ryukawa is nominally here to investigate Morita's death and find out the spies on the ship, my intuition tells me that he is here for the five of us."
"Isn't it six?"
"No, just five! All signs indicate that Section Chief Ming should have been excluded from Long Chuan's suspect list. But in my opinion, this sealed message may not have been written by Long Chuan, but by him, Zhang
commander!"
"You mean, Commander Zhang is the creator of the fake secret message? Is he testing us? He even wants to use the help of Longchuan Feihara to get rid of one of us?"
"It could be someone, or it could be everyone!"
"Why?"
"Because he has doubts about the performance of the five of us on the code ship, because he hopes that a real military spy will appear among the five of us and give him an excuse to catch us all, because that message has been stuck in his heart
, so that he can neither survive nor die!"
"Telegram?"
"Yes, it's the message with the word 'Qiuzhuang' that Wu Zhiguo sent to the Suppression Headquarters on the ship!"
…
Half an hour later, Longchuan Feiyuan's office.
"Knock knock knock, report!"
"Is it Director Wang? Come in!"
Before he finished speaking, Wang Tianxiang opened the door and walked in. He nodded and bowed and said: "Colonel, did you call me?"
Long Chuan Fei Principle glanced at him first, and then handed him a handkerchief, "Don't worry, wipe the sweat on your face first."
"Thank you, Colonel." Wang Tianxiang quickly took the handkerchief with both hands and wiped it on his face randomly.
It wasn't until he finished packing that Ryukawa Hihara handed over the folder in his hand.
"This...this is..." Wang Tianxiang didn't look at it, but his eyes widened unconsciously when he saw the content above.
"This is the news that my oriole who has penetrated into the underground party has just found out."
"Hua Qiao? So, the Red Party already knows that the old man has been exposed? But... the information about the seizure of magazines and printing plants has been tightly sealed. Who leaked the news?"
"That's why I called you here!"
"Colonel, are you doubting Section Chief Ming?"
"I doubt everyone, including him of course!"
As soon as these words came out, Wang Tianxiang couldn't help but feel chills running down his spine. Even though Longchuan Feiyuan didn't say it explicitly, he knew in his heart that this "everyone" included not only Li Qiang, but also himself!
After forcing himself to calm down, Wang Tianxiang finally returned his attention to Huang Que's report, "Colonel, since the Red Party has noticed it, can the people from the magazine withdraw?
"
"No! It's not the time yet."
"But Colonel, there are only so many of his humble subordinates, and they have been ambushing the magazine. Isn't it too..."
"Because of this, your people cannot be withdrawn. Do you understand?"
Hearing this, Wang Tianxiang was stunned for a moment, and then said with sudden realization: "I see, I understand, Colonel, what do you mean, in the eyes of the Red Party, the most dangerous place is the safest place?"
"Yes, this is the so-called 'darkness under the light'. As long as we use this trick to make them think that we have withdrawn people from the magazine, then they will most likely go back to deal with some things that they did not have time to deal with before. In this way, we will
You can just sit back and wait for the big fish to take the bait."
"High! It's really high! This move of yours, Colonel, is so clever. I admire it! Don't worry, I will go to the street and recruit some people to show off. I will make sure that no one will see any flaws!"
At this point, Wang Tianxiang paused for a moment and then asked cautiously, "But Colonel, Huang Que's report said that in the city of Hangzhou, there was an old man with an old ghost and an old gun, and the old man and them also
It's just an indirect contact, even if we catch the old man, I'm afraid..."
"You don't have to worry about this, you just need to follow my orders!" As he spoke, Ryukawa Hihara pointed to the "Jiayuan" magazine on his desk, "Also, the Investigation and Suppression Headquarters will come on board immediately.
The relationship between those five people and this magazine!”
"yes!"
After lunch, Li Ningyu was about to return to her office when she saw Gu Xiaomeng wandering in the corridor from a distance.
As soon as Gu Xiaomeng saw Li Ningyu coming, he quickly stepped forward to say hello, but Li Ningyu ignored her and walked straight past her.
Although he hit a snag, Gu Xiaomeng followed Li Ningyu into the office unyieldingly and admitted his mistake: "Section Chief, this morning, I was absent from work for six hours without any reason. This is my self-reflection book. Please record it in the conduct record.
"
"No need!" Li Ningyu said coldly, "When you left this morning, you once told me that if you voluntarily quit the Intelligence Section and the confidential office, you should be able to complete the resignation procedures soon."
However, before he finished speaking, Jin Shenghuo suddenly walked in from the outside and pleaded for Gu Xiaomeng: "Ning Yu, don't care so much! Gu Xiaomeng is young and ignorant, and said a few angry words. As the section chief, you should criticize when necessary.
Don’t beat me to death with a stick! Besides, didn’t I also take your resignation letter?”
"Then Director Jin can accept my resignation letter and handle mine together with Gu Xiaomeng's."
"Look, here we go again!" Jin Shenghuo said with a smile, "You resigned alone, and it was me, Director Jin, who fired you. When everyone resigned, it was you who fired me, Director Jin. I don't need to talk about my feelings.
But Commander Zhang’s feelings cannot be ignored!”
After saying that, Jin Shenghuo took out an invitation from his arms and handed it to Li Ningyu, "At seven o'clock the day after tomorrow, Commander Zhang's family dinner will be held. I said that I would like to invite you, Chief Li, me, Gu Xiaomeng, and Secretary Bai.
, of course, there is Captain Wu celebrating! This is the invitation! Look, it’s the five of us again, don’t forget what I told you this morning.”
But even though Jin Shenghuo had reached this point, Li Ningyu still refused without hesitation, "I'm sorry, please ask Director Jin to apologize to the commander on my behalf. I can't go."
"Chief Li, Commander Zhang's kindness cannot be refuted!" After saying this, Jin Shenghuo deliberately walked to Li Ningyu and lowered his voice to remind him, "Don't alert the enemy."
Li Ningyu naturally understood this truth, but still insisted: "I can't go because the night after tomorrow is Lao Pan's birthday, and I promised to go home for dinner. There is nothing I can do if Zhang Si gets the key. Besides, Gu Xiaomeng and I
In the meantime, only one person can stay in the Intelligence Section! Or, both of them can leave!"
"Why bother?"
"It must be like this! Please ask Director Jin to make the decision personally!" After saying that, Li Ningyu left the office without looking back.
"Chief Li, why are you doing this...Chief Li? Li Ningyu! Ningyu..." Jin Shenghuo shouted several times, but still couldn't make Li Ningyu look back, so he could only sigh helplessly and turned around.
He turned over and said to Gu Xiaomeng, "Look, you offended Li Tiancai a lot, right? You can't rush this kind of thing, you have to work harder!"
"Oh." After hearing this, Gu Xiaomeng hurriedly pouted and nodded.
Two days passed by in a flash. On the morning of the third day, Li Qiang came to Longchuan Feiyuan's office early and reported to him the results of the investigation over the past few days.
"Chief Ming's efficiency is really high! The results are available so quickly?"
"Colonel has a destiny, and he should do his best in his humble position! Never dare to show any slightest care!" Li Qiang replied in a neither humble nor arrogant tone.
"Okay, in that case, let's stop talking and talk about what you have gained in the past two days!"
