In the next few days, the Intelligence Department was relatively calm, and Fang Yi had no good news to come back.
Taking advantage of his free time, Luo Qiwei took some wine and food to go to the old man Shi Lifu to have a chat or listen to him brag about his glorious past.
I have to say that Luo Qiwei really benefited a lot from the chat...
Just a week after the Wu Yi case was solved, Luo Qiwei went to another place. As soon as he returned to the intelligence office, he was called to the section chief's office.
When he knocked on the door and went in, he saw that Tang Zhengqi's face was gloomy, and his whole body was like a powder keg that might explode at any time.
"Section Chief, Luo Qiwei is here to report."
"You're here." Tang Zhengqi raised his head, and Luo Qiwei saw that the section chief's eyes were bloodshot, as if he had stayed up for several days.
"Here is some information, you should take a look first." After saying that, he took out a piece of information from the cabinet under the table and handed it to Luo Qiwei.
Luo Qiwei took it in his hand and turned the first page. His expression changed drastically and he asked hurriedly: "Section Chief, is this true?"
Tang Zhengqi nodded and said: "Yes, Director Dai issued a death order. They must be found within three days, otherwise not only me but Director Dai may not be able to explain."
Luo Qiwei nodded gloomily. What happened to Wu Yi not long ago made Xu Enzeng of the Party Affairs Investigation Section a little impatient. This time someone actually dared to rob someone escorted by the Intelligence Department in the capital.
To put it nicely, the Intelligence Department is not doing its job well. To put it badly, or even to make malicious speculations, then the Intelligence Department has become the base camp of Japanese spies.
Once this tone is formed, the Intelligence Department will probably face the situation of being abolished, and people like myself will be trapped in endless screening.
Luo Qiwei flipped through the information and continued reading. After a while, he finally figured out the ins and outs of the matter.
Three days ago, a secret message came from the Lixingshe Intelligence Station in Peking. They were going to escort a group of Japanese spies to the Intelligence Office of the headquarters. The arrival time was around six o'clock yesterday morning.
The Intelligence Division arranged for the First Operations Squadron of the Operations Section to perform a response mission and received the call. Shortly after leaving the train station, the escort convoy was attacked, resulting in heavy casualties. Two spy leaders, Nobu Takeda and Sakura Natsume, were rescued.
Upon hearing the news, Director Dai became furious and ordered all the spies who had not been rescued to be executed on the spot. He also ordered the entire intelligence agency to dig three feet into the ground to find these people within three days.
The Intelligence Department sent out all outside requests except the internal service. The Nanjing Police Department and the Nanjing Security Department cooperated to launch a city-wide search.
After reading the information, Luo Qiwei thought for a while and asked: "Section Chief, searching like this is like finding a needle in a haystack. Why not block the entire city to prevent those people from running out of the city?"
Tang Zhengqi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You think I haven't thought about it, but Director Dai clearly told me that it's not wartime, so a city-wide lockdown is impossible."
Think about it, Nanjing, as the capital, has so many high-ranking officials, not to mention that the Intelligence Department is currently not well-known. Although it is highly regarded by the leaders, it is probably not enough to block the entire city.
Manual searches were deployed on several traffic arteries, as well as extensive searches at the police station and security department.
One day passed, and there was still no obvious progress. The only thing that was certain was that the two spy chiefs had not escaped from the city yet.
But after a day of searching, these people seemed to have evaporated. Luo Qiwei pondered for a moment and suddenly said: "I don't believe they just disappeared like this."
"You mean there was someone to pick up or help them cover up?"
"Yes." Luo Qiwei said with determination: "Otherwise, under such a dragnet-style search, it would be impossible for two seriously injured people to escape."
"Chamber of Commerce."
The two looked at each other and said in unison: "Currently, the only one with the conditions to take them in is the Chamber of Commerce."
"But the Japan Chamber of Commerce sent people to closely monitor the incident as soon as it happened, and no suspicious person was found." Tang Zhengqi said with some confusion.
"Where are the chambers of commerce in other countries?" Luo Qiwei asked.
In this era, many chambers of commerce are not so pure, and most of them do part-time work such as collecting intelligence, so they cannot take it easy on those foreign chambers of commerce.
Tang Zhengqi also understood that he had made a mistake, but fortunately, this mistake could still be undone in time.
Looking at the intelligence that was constantly being compiled, Luo Qiwei said: "Section Chief, without further ado, we need to start searching the chamber of commerce now. Otherwise, when the two men recover from their injuries, it may be more difficult to search by then."
Tang Zhengyi said hesitantly: "I also know this truth, but a hasty search can easily cause a diplomatic incident."
These words made Luo Qiwei a little silent. This really corresponded to the saying that a weak country has no diplomacy. In this era, even some people from the chamber of commerce can show off their power in this country.
It seems that a direct search will definitely not work, so it might be a good idea to change the way of thinking.
"Section Chief, what do you think of this method?" Luo Qiwei hesitated and then said: "As far as I know, many chambers of commerce have aging circuits. Let police who are familiar with chambers of commerce take us to check."
"If this method doesn't work, let's track down the culprit. If any chamber of commerce stops us, then we will target that chamber of commerce."
"Okay." Tang Zhengqi slapped the table: "I'll leave it to you and your special operations team to investigate the Chamber of Commerce's affairs."
While he was talking, the phone rang. Tang Zhengqi picked it up, listened for a moment, put down the phone and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to meet someone who is responsible for catching these spies."
The two left the intelligence office and went to a secret stronghold outside. Here, they saw a young man in a police student uniform, about 27 or 28 years old.
When he saw the two people coming in, he immediately stood up and saluted: "Report to Captain Tang, student Xiong Cheng reports."
Tang Zhengqi waved his hand and said: "This is not at school. By the way, you already know the matter. What I want to say now is that because you caught these two people and are familiar with them, I want to invite you to join the search team.
This is Captain Luo, please get to know him."
Luo Qiwei stepped forward, shook hands with Xiong Cheng and said, "Welcome to join the search team."
Xiong Cheng saluted and said, "Follow the captain's command."
Even so, Luo Qiwei still saw a trace of disdain and even rejection in this person's eyes, perhaps because of their status.
After all, in this era, many people have a very bad impression of spies.
On the way here, he took a quick look at Xiong Cheng's information. He was the section chief of the Criminal Investigation Section of the Peking Police Department. He was a policeman with a bright future and great abilities.
It is said that Deng Yikun, a big boss in the party, stands behind him. Although this person has now retired, he still has a great influence in the party, especially in the police system, where his disciples and old friends are all over the place.
Xiong Cheng is currently studying at the Central Police Academy, and Tang Zhengqi also has the identity of being the captain of the teaching team of the Central Police Academy, so it is not wrong to call himself a student.
According to the news from the Peiping Intelligence Station, the arrest of Takeda Nobu's spy team, from discovery to arrest, was almost all handled by Xiong Cheng alone.
No wonder he showed a trace of disdain just now...
Luo Qiwei didn't know much about the Peking Intelligence Station, but he learned from the information that although Peiping was the capital of the former dynasty, the strength of the intelligence office there was not very strong, and could even be said to be very weak.
Shi Hu, the head of the Peking Intelligence Station, what should I say about this person? He lacks courage, is more than conservative, and is not enterprising enough.
This also resulted in the Peiping Intelligence Station having so much information, but not many spies caught, and instead suffered heavy losses.
It is said that the Peiping Intelligence Station had an intention to recruit Xiong Cheng, but this person seemed to be biased against the intelligence office, so the matter ended in vain.
From now on, the prejudice against the Intelligence Department still exists, but it is well concealed when facing Tang Zhengqi, but Luo Qiwei still sees some clues.
Regarding the sparks between the two, Tang Zhengqi didn't care and said: "The next investigation of the Chamber of Commerce will be left to you two. As long as I catch the two people who escaped, no matter who they are, I will give them a big credit.
.”
"Yes!" the two saluted.
After Tang Zhengqi left, Luo Qiwei looked at the map and said: "Officer Xiong, the prisoner was kidnapped in Qinhuai District. So, you start the investigation from the east of Qinhuai District, and I start from the west of Qinhuai District. Those two people suffered so much."
He was seriously injured and must have not escaped yet."
Xiong Cheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded...
