Chapter 636 [At the cost] (Part 1)
Zhang Yang quickly realized from his voice that the other party was Tian Ling, Wang Xuehai's wife Tian Ling. Zhang Yang had helped Tian Ling to clear the siege on the train. He had a good relationship, but later because of Wang Xuehai's affairs, Tian Ling also had a gap with him. The two had not contacted each other for a long time. I remember that Tian Ling was in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the past. Zhang Yang asked in disbelief: "Sister Tian?"
Tian Ling said happily: "Zhang Yang, it's really you! I didn't expect you to come to the United States."
Zhang Yang didn't expect Tian Ling to be in the New York Consulate. After all, it was a good thing to find an acquaintance. Zhang Yang told Tian Ling about his troubles. After hearing this, Tian Ling comforted him and said, "Don't worry, I'll go to the Consul General to report it immediately. I'll give you a phone number. Someone in the consulate has already gone to the search and rescue site. His name is Bai Zhijun and tell me your specific location. I'll ask him to pick you up."
Zhang Yang talked about his current approximate position.
Tian Ling put down the phone and first called Bai Zhijun and asked him to go to the Gongdian Pavilion near Portwana Town to pick up Zhang Yang, and then she went to the office of Consul General Shu Yingheng.
Shu Yingheng was making a phone call. After he finished calling, he raised his head and said to Tian Ling: "What's the matter?"
Tian Ling came to him and whispered to him what had happened just now.
After hearing this, Shu Yingheng said with a serious expression: "His passport lost? He actually injured the American police?"
Tian Ling said: "Zhang Yang is not simple. I think his visit to the United States this time must be related to Gu Jiatong's disappearance."
Shu Yingheng said: "I just received the news that Gu Jiatong's shoes and coat were salvaged, and there was a lot of blood stains on her coat. According to the on-site analysis, she should be in danger."
Tian Ling bit her lip. She had seen Gu Jiatong and admired Gu Jiatong very much. She never thought that the beautiful, young and promising Gu Jiatong would die in a car accident. She felt very regretful.
Shu Yingheng stood up and said, "I'm going to Buffalo. Secretary Gu is about to arrive at noon. At such an old age, he has lost his daughter. This will definitely have a big blow to him."
Zhang Yang waited for more than an hour before seeing a Toyota jeep parked next to a public telephone booth. A Chinese man in his thirties pushed open the car door and walked down. He saw that there was no one in the public telephone booth, raised his hand to look at the time, and then lit a cigarette.
Zhang Yang was sure that there were no other suspicious people around him, so he came from the woods to the front of the road, climbed over the guardrail, and walked towards the man.
The man saw Zhang Yang, met him and whispered: "Zhang Yang?"
Zhang Yang nodded.
The man said, "Let's talk about it when getting in the car!"
Zhang Yang followed him into the jeep, and the man then stretched out his hand: "Hello, I am a staff member of the New York Consulate, my name is Bai Zhijun."
Zhang Yang shook hands with him and said, "Look for a long time!" He just knew the name from Tian Ling.
While driving, Bai Zhijun said, "I heard about your affairs. I was really careless. You can even lose your passport. But if you lose your passport, you should contact our consulate as soon as possible. The embassy is OK. Why attack the American police? I heard that you attacked the police in Niagara Falls yesterday, and then came to the police station in Portwana town for a big upside down. Now the police are looking for you everywhere, and things are very troublesome!"
Zhang Yang said: "I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble."
Bai Zhijun said: "I will send you back to the consulate first. If it goes well, we will arrive at the New York consulate tonight."
Zhang Yang suddenly said: "Stop!"
Bai Zhijun was slightly stunned. He continued driving without the intention of stopping.
Zhang Yang roared: "I'll let you park!"
Bai Zhijun then stepped on the brakes and looked at Zhang Yang in shock and said, "What do you mean?"
Zhang Yang said: "I will not leave until I find Gu Jiatong!"
Bai Zhijun looked at Zhang Yang in a daze, and after a while, he said: "You don't know. The rescue team found her clothes and shoes in the lower Niagara River this morning, with a lot of blood on it. It has been 72 hours since she disappeared. The entire Niagara River has been searched, and there is no hope!"
The muscles on the face twitched due to pain.
Bai Zhijun looked at him sympathetically: "I think you should face reality!"
Zhang Yang shook his head vigorously, and he whispered: "Take me to the search and rescue site!"
Bai Zhijun said: "Now the police are looking for you everywhere. Wouldn't you fall into the trap when you go to the search and rescue site?"
Zhang Yang said: "Take me there, at worst, you can deport me from the country."
Bai Zhijun said: "You are a state employee, you have to know the consequences of doing so."
Zhang Yang said, "Take me there, Jiatong is my fiancée!" When he said this, Zhang Yang suddenly had the urge to cry loudly. He believed that Gu Jiatong must have wanted to marry him in his heart, but before she could realize this wish, she had left herself. Zhang Yang blocked her lips with her hands and tried to block her tears in this way.
Bai Zhijun looked at Zhang Yang's red eyes with a sad expression, and he finally nodded.
Shu Yingheng put some pressure on the US side through diplomatic channels, so since the jeep that Gu Jiatong was riding disappeared, the US has launched a series of search and rescue work. The wreckage of the jeep has been salvaged, and the two bodies found in the car were not Gu Jiatong. Gu Jiatong's clothes and shoes were found downstream this morning. It can be said that within these 72 hours, the US side has tried its best to search and rescue, and they believe that Gu Jiatong has no hope of survival.
Bai Zhijun came to follow up on the search and rescue operation. He was very clear about the search and rescue situation. He was not familiar with Zhang Yang before, but just learned from Tian Ling that Zhang Yang was an official from a prefecture-level city in China. More importantly, he was the godson of Wen Guoquan, the current Vice Premier of the State Council. Tian Ling emphasized on the phone that Zhang Yang had caused a lot of trouble in the United States, so that Bai Zhijun must protect him and try not to worsen the situation.
Bai Zhijun knew that Consul General Shu Yingheng and Gu Jiatong's father Gu Yunzhi had a close relationship, so Shu Yingheng was so concerned about this matter. He did not know the relationship between Zhang Yang and Gu Jiatong. So far, he knew very little about the specific inside story, but Zhang Yang's sadness moved him a little. Zhang Yang came here from China from thousands of miles to prove the life and death of his lover. Such a person is indeed extremely affectionate. Bai Zhijun decided to take Zhang Yang to the scene to see it. Perhaps only reality will make Zhang Yang give up.
The US search and rescue team has stopped working. There is a tent set up in the lower Niagara River, which is the temporary command post of the US search and rescue team.
Bai Zhijun parked the jeep next to the tent, and he said to Zhang Yang: "I'll take you there, don't say anything, you must stay calm, and we will leave immediately after identifying those items. Once we attract the attention of the US police, it will be very troublesome."
Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble."
Bai Zhijun brought Zhang Yang to the search and rescue site. The search and rescue personnel were ready to withdraw the team. He talked to the leader for a few words. A US staff member brought them to the right side of the tent. Two search and rescue team members were sorting out the items they found, a shoe, a blood-stained jacket, and a handbag. Bai Zhijun walked over. The search and rescue team members were already familiar with him. They found their passport and ID from the handbag, handed the passport to Bai Zhijun. Bai Zhijun took a look and then handed it to Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang's hand trembled and opened his passport. When he saw the photo of Gu Jiatong on it, his eyes turned black and his chest was like a cold sharp knife stabbed in. His body shook for a moment, and his face became bloodless in an instant. Bai Zhijun held his arm and whispered: "Are you okay?"
Zhang Yang shook his head. Seeing everything in front of him, he finally realized that Gu Jiatong had left him forever. Gu Jiatong's smile penetrated into his mind from time to time. Zhang Yang closed his eyes hard, and tears rolled down like a flood that broke through the dam.
Bai Zhijun looked at Zhang Yang with sympathy, and he whispered: "It's an accident."
"It's not an accident!" Zhang Yang just finished speaking, two black Acura cars arrived at the scene one after another. Five FBI agents in black suits surrounded Zhang Yang, and the leader was Mike.
Zhang Yang held Gu Jiatong's passport and stared at Gu Jiatong's photo, as if everything that happened around him had nothing to do with him.
Bai Zhijun's face changed, and he secretly cried out something wrong.
Mike walked up to Zhang Yang, stared at Zhang Yang's eyes and said, "Sir, please get in the car!"
Bai Zhijun said: "Sorry, we are staff members of the Chinese Embassy in New York, and we have diplomatic immunity!"
Mike stopped Bai Zhijun with his arm, looked at him coldly and arrogantly and said, "Go away, if you don't want to cause trouble!"
Zhang Yang returned the passport to Bai Zhijun. He didn't say anything. Two FBI agents clamped him in the middle. They put their hands in suits and obviously held pistols and aimed at Zhang Yang. Mike looked at Zhang Yang and said, "Mr. Zhang, what is your purpose for coming to the United States this time? Zhang Yang ignored him.
Mike said: "You can't say it, but I promise you will regret it." An FBI agent next to him actually knew Chinese. Although he was not very skilled, he was still competent to act as a translator.
Zhang Yang said: "I'm here to find my fiancée!"
Mike shook his head and said, "Don't lie to me, we have some information about you, and there is reason to prove that you want to engage in espionage when you come to the United States this time."
Zhang Yang didn't say anything, his expression was filled with sadness.
"Look at me and answer my questions!"
The FBI agent beside him pressed his pistol against Zhang Yang's waist. Zhang Yang suddenly twitched and his body collapsed.
Several FBI agents were stunned. When they looked again, Zhang Yang was already lying there. Mike shouted: "Be careful of his disguise!" But seeing that Zhang Yang's appearance did not seem to be disguising, Mike reached out and touched the side of his neck, his face changed suddenly, and Zhang Yang's heartbeat actually disappeared.
Mike lay on Zhang Yang's chest and listened again, believing that there was no sound of heartbeat, he tapped his nose with his fingers and said annoyedly: "Diet! He committed suicide!" He really didn't understand. Under their noses, how could Zhang Yang commit suicide so calmly.
Bai Zhijun never walked away. He saw everything in front of him and felt it was too sudden. He rushed up angrily and protested loudly: "Who are you? He died at your hands, and I want to protest to your government!"
Mike pushed him away, and he gave his subordinates a wink. The result was something they didn't expect. They just found Zhang Yang, but Zhang Yang died. They got into the car and drove away, and no one looked at the dead Zhang Yang. This corpse was a troublesome. FBI was interested in living spies and had no interest in the dead. Since they were Chinese, let's leave it to the Chinese to deal with it themselves.
Bai Zhijun came to Zhang Yang. He touched Zhang Yang's neck and found that Zhang Yang's heartbeat had indeed disappeared. At this moment, he heard Zhang Yang's voice: "Take me away, I'm pretending to be dead!"
Bai Zhijun looked at Zhang Yang in shock. The guy was still lying on the ground and motionless. No one around said anything, and no one seemed to hear Zhang Yang's words.
Bai Zhijun thought he had heard it wrong, so Zhang Yang said again: "Naturally, don't let others see the problem." Bai Zhijun believed this time. Zhang Yang was indeed talking to him. It was admirable that he could pretend to be dead and be able to reach this level, but in the situation just now, he really couldn't think of any other way to escape.
Bai Zhijun dragged Zhang Yang's body into a jeep and drove away from the search and rescue site.
After the car drove into the highway, Zhang Yang sat up from the back seat. Fortunately, Bai Zhijun knew that he was pretending to be dead, otherwise he would have thought it was a zombie and was scared to death. Bai Zhijun said in confusion: "Why did they come to you?"
Zhang Yang shook his head and said, "I don't know, maybe this matter was a conspiracy from the beginning." He stretched out his hand to Bai Zhijun: "Give me the phone number!"
Bai Zhijun handed him the phone number.
Zhang Yang contacted Xing Chaohui, and things became more and more complicated. If you want to find the real murderer who killed Gu Jiatong, it is impossible to fight alone, let alone FBI has found himself.
Xing Chaohui was also extremely surprised when he heard that Zhang Yangren was in the United States. He said in surprise: "What are you doing in the United States?"
Zhang Yang whispered: "Jiatong is dead. The US side thinks it was an accident. I don't think so. Before she died, someone called me for threatening. FBI also found me just now, and I pretended to be dead and got confused."
Xing Chaohui knew something about the relationship between Gu Jiatong and Zhang Yang. The blow to Zhang Yang by Gu Jiatong's death was obviously huge. With his understanding of Zhang Yang, this time he would definitely do whatever it takes to find the real murderer. Xing Chaohui said: "Where are you now?"
Zhang Yang said: "I am with the people from the New York Consulate."
"Go back to the consulate first, I will have someone contact you." Xing Chaohui hung up the phone after he said that.
This incident made Xing Zhaohui very difficult. The department he was in charge of was the Fourth Bureau of National Security. The work in the United States did not fall within his scope of work. After careful consideration, he went to the Tenth Bureau to tell Zhang Bijun, the director of the Tenth Bureau.
Zhang Bijun was also quite shocked when she heard about this incident. She said in shock: "Is Gu Jiatong dead?"
Xing Chaohui nodded and said, "Zhang Yang has gone to the United States. He said that before something happened to Gu Jiatong, someone called him for intimidation."
Zhang Bijun frowned and whispered: "You mean, Gu Jiatong's death is not an accident, but someone planned it?"
Xing Chaohui sighed and said, "What I am worried about is Zhang Yang. He came to him as soon as he arrived in the United States. I really don't know why Americans are targeting him for no reason? This time he went to the United States to perform our mission."
Zhang Bijun said: "You know Zhang Yang's temper. In order to avenge Gu Jiatong, he will do whatever it takes."
Xing Chaohui said: "This is also what I worry about. I am afraid that his revenge will affect our organization."
Zhang Bijun said: "We must stop him!"
"How to organize, overseas affairs are not within the scope of our fourth bureau."
Zhang Bijun said, "Leave this to me." After saying that, she paused again and whispered: "When necessary, maybe we must deny all the connection between us and him."
Xing Chaohui realized something from Zhang Bijun's words. He sighed from the bottom of his heart. This kid's prospects were probably not so optimistic.
Bai Zhijun suddenly found two black Acuras in the reflector chasing him quickly. He was slightly stunned and said in surprise: "They are catching up!"
Zhang Yang said: "Did you have doubts?"
Bai Zhijun said nervously: "What should I do? Keep pretending to be dead!"
It was no difficulty for Zhang Yang to pretend to be dead. He lay down again. Bai Zhijun slowly parked the jeep on the side of the road, and two Acura cars clamped his jeep in the middle one in front and one behind.
Five FBI agents raised their pistols and aimed at the jeep. Mike shouted: "Get out! Get out of the car!"
Bai Zhijun could hear it clearly. He was saying that he would get out of the car for him. Could it be that Zhang Yang's pretending to be dead was exposed?
Bai Zhijun pushed open the car door, raised his hands and walked down. As soon as he got off the car, a FBI agent grabbed his arm and pressed it rudely on the hood of the car. Bai Zhijun roared: "What do you want to do? I am a staff member of the Chinese Consulate in New York, and I want to protest seriously to your government!"
