Qiao Mucai sat on the chair with a sinking face. Shen Zhifeng stood aside with his hands behind his back. There was an envelope on his desk. Opposite him was Zhou Junchen, who had just come in.
After a moment of silence, Qiao Mu said: "Director Zhou, what have you been busy with recently?"
Zhou Junchen felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere, and looked at Shen Zhifeng in confusion, and said: "I have been sorting out documents recently, and I am trying to make a more comprehensive classification breakdown within a week. As you know, our station..."
"I mean, what are you busy with after get off work?" Qiao Mu interrupted him.
Zhou Junchen was stunned when he heard this, and said hesitantly: "After get off work...there is basically nothing to do. I usually go home directly."
Qiao Mucai said: "As far as I know, your spare time life is very extensive. You don't just go home every time!"
Zhou Junchen thought to himself, could it be that Qiao Mu only knew about his affair outside? If that was the case, he couldn't just hide it.
Thinking of this, he said cautiously: "Sometimes I go out for a walk and drink tea and chat with friends."
"What friend?"
"Well... they are just ordinary friends."
"normal friend?"
"yes."
Qiao Mu pushed the envelope over and said, "Is this also an ordinary friend?"
Inside the envelope was a stack of photos. Zhou Junchen took out the photos and looked at them one by one. They were all scenes of his conversation with Zhou Mingwei.
Zhou Junchen said in surprise: "What, what is going on?"
Qiao Mucai said coldly: "I also want to know what's going on, but you should be the one who can answer this question!"
Zhou Junchen's mind was racing, he glanced at Shen Zhifeng and said, "Webmaster, where did these photos come from?"
"Answer me first, who is that person in the photo?"
"He is from the Qing Gang and is in charge of watching the show at Paramount. His name is Zhou Mingwei."
"anything else?"
"I'm not familiar with him, that's all I know."
"We deliberately found a secluded corner to talk and met at Xinxin Cafe. Isn't this unfamiliar?"
Zhou Junchen was a little embarrassed to talk about the whole story. After all, it was not an honest matter. He said: "We talked about other things..."
"What's up?"
"Webmaster, these are some of my personal matters, so there's no need to talk about them, right?"
"Are you talking about personal matters with a communist?"
Zhou Junchen was surprised, looked at the photo in his hand, and said, "You mean, Zhou Mingwei is a Communist?"
Qiao Mucai was speechless. He was observing Zhou Junchen's reaction.
These photos seemed very suspicious, but Qiao Muchai didn't believe it at all that Zhou Junchen was a communist.
Qiao Mucai said: "What did you talk about when you met twice?"
"It's all about Cuihong." Hearing that Zhou Mingwei was a Communist, Zhou Junchen didn't dare to hide it anymore and could only tell the truth.
Qiao Mucai frowned and said, "Who is Cuihong?"
Zhou Junchen was a little embarrassed and said hesitantly: "She, she is... a dancer from Paramount."
Qiao Mucai looked at Zhou Junchen, nodded slowly, and said, "So, you went to Paramount because of the dancer named Cuihong?"
"yes."
"Is it because of her that I went to Xinxin Cafe?"
"Zhou Mingwei said Cuihong asked me to meet there... Of course, it seems now that he had ulterior motives."
"Tell me the situation from beginning to end!"
In order to clear away the suspicion of collaborating with the enemy, Zhou Junchen told the story in detail.
Qiao Mu took some luck and made a decision in his mind, and said to Zhou Junchen: "From now on, you will temporarily suspend your duties and reflect. In addition, put the whole thing in writing and hand it in tomorrow!"
Zhou Junchen was stunned and said quickly: "Stationmaster, I was wronged..."
Qiao Mucai said with a straight face: "What are you unjustly accusing? It's good that I didn't investigate and prosecute you for collaborating with the enemy. Go home for a few days, think clearly about where you went wrong, and then come to me again!"
"Webmaster..."
"You go out first!"
Zhou Junchen had no choice but to turn around and walk out.
In fact, according to the seriousness of this matter, Qiao Mucai was already lenient. Even if there was no definite evidence of collaborating with the enemy, demotion was the lightest punishment.
Watching Zhou Junchen walk out of the stationmaster's office dejectedly, Shen Zhifeng took a step closer and said, "Staffmaster, this matter is not trivial. I think we should investigate again."
Qiao Mucai smiled and said, "You mean Zhou Junchen?"
"Of course. Just based on his words..."
"You still don't understand him. At Yanjin Station, anyone can be a traitor to the Communist Party, but he is the only one who cannot."
"You trust him so much?"
"When he was in Chongqing, Zhou Junchen personally led people to arrest more than a dozen underground party members. Later, a prison break occurred in Xifeng Prison. For this reason, he suggested that the headquarters secretly execute all those stubborn Communists!"
"...What happened next?"
"The headquarters adopted his suggestion. Thirteen important members of the Communist Party were all executed before preparations were made to establish the cooperative office. Zhou Junchen personally led the execution!"
Shen Zhifeng understood that what Qiao Mucai meant was, how could a person whose hands were stained with the blood of the Communist Party be a traitor?
…………
Back in the office, Shen Zhifeng sat on the chair, feeling extremely tired. He was not physically tired, but mentally tired.
In Zhou Mingwei's case, from beginning to end, he believed that he had made no omissions, so how could he let the Communist Party lead the way?
Could it be that Zhou Mingwei had noticed it a long time ago?
It seems unlikely. If that were the case, Zhou Mingwei would not have gone to the bank to pick up the transmitter, let alone take it home.
Moreover, judging from the actual results, everything Zhou Mingwei did was to escape and move the transmitter. He had no more ideas.
Which part went wrong?
Shen Zhifeng thought hard for a long time, and suddenly an idea came to his mind!
At the beginning, I always felt that I had overlooked something. Now that I think about it carefully, my ideas gradually become clearer.
Zhou Mingwei must have known that he had been exposed since he was under surveillance, because from that time on, everything he did was targeted.
Also, after Wang Dongsheng escaped, people from the Intelligence Department had been monitoring Shuichang Street. As soon as the people from the Intelligence Department withdrew, Zhou Mingwei took the transmitter away from the bank the next day.
Why is his news so timely?
There must be someone in the know tipping off the news!
This person who tipped off the information is most likely hiding inside Yanjin Station, and his position must not be low, otherwise, he would not know everything!
The problem is, apart from Bai Jumin and his group, only Zhang Nina knows the inside story.
Could it be Zhang Nina...
Oh, no, the people in the monitoring team also know the inside story!
However, they are all professionally trained agents and should not go out and talk nonsense...
Shen Zhifeng pondered for a long time, opened the door and left the office, went downstairs and went directly to the monitoring team.
"Director Shen."
"Director Shen."
Seeing Shen Zhifeng come in, the two agents from the surveillance team stood up from their chairs.
Shen Zhifeng walked around the room with his hands behind his back and said, "How are you doing? Is there anything unusual?"
"No."
"Is there any problem with the equipment recently?"
"everything is normal."
"That's good... By the way, on the day the equipment failed, besides Section Chief Zhang, who else came to the monitoring team?"
"The chief of the equipment section, and three maintenance personnel."
