Section 652: The case gradually becomes clear
In the quiet reception room, Pang Chong held up the teacup and gently blew the floating foam, and kept silent. This is the attitude of many people in the face of the secret service. They say more and more wrong, and don’t say it is good.
Zuo Zhong, who was coldly treated, was not annoyed. He also shook his teacup and looked at the other party with a smile: "I will introduce myself, I am Zuo Zhong, deputy director of the secret service department, you should have heard of it."
"Pang naturally heard of the Daming of Deputy Director Zuo. I wonder what you are doing this time. Our training supervisory department and your secret service department do not seem to have any business dealings. Please tell me if you have any questions."
Pang Chong replied calmly, but his eyes looked straight out the window, his emotions were not turbulent, and he was too lazy to maintain the false feelings on the face of the official, so he obviously did not welcome their arrival.
Guqi, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but frown. When the department saw that the secret service was not greeted with a smile, he was treated so rudely today. How could this person have the courage?
"hehe."
Zuo Chong put down the teacup and smiled, his smile looking very sincere: "Everyone's time is precious. Since Chief Pang doesn't give his brothers face, I won't beat around the bush.
We are here to find you or for the death of Lu Yong'an. I hope you can cooperate with the investigation well. I want to know if Vice President Lu has told you about the names of Su Zifu and Yang Changqing."
"I'm sorry, I can't help you."
Pang Chong glanced at Zuo Chong and said casually: "Lao Lu's tone is very tight. I've seen him feel restless and asked several times before, but he didn't say anything. You can ask someone else.
Also, can you not come to the agency to find Pang in the future? What do the military thinks about the secret service? You also understand that I was disliked by the Shangfeng and didn’t want to have no colleagues.”
His words were very direct. The orthodox soldiers of the Training Directorate did not like the secret service, nor did they like people who were close to the secret service. After all, which department does not have any small secrets.
"Oh? Haha."
Zuo Chong laughed at this and said, "Chief Pang, don't be nervous. I'm not targeting you this time, but I just followed the leader's instructions to investigate the death case of Lu Yong'an, and I have to come.
If you can cooperate with our investigation, after the investigation is over, I will inform the army of the specific circumstances so that everyone can know your contributions. This will be a good thing for you."
"This...is pretty good."
Pang Chong's eyes lit up suddenly, and he stroked his beard and changed his subject: "Pang is not a person who is greedy for merit. The main reason is that Lao Lu died in vain. As a friend, I can't watch him die with my eyes open.
But he really didn't tell me anything about Su Zifu and Yang Changqing. This is the case. If Deputy Director Zuo rests with me, I will go to other old friends to ask if I can find clues."
"Loyalty is forever! Zuo admires it."
Zuo Chong gave a thumbs up and praised him. Guqi also laughed and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. The other party just now seemed to ignore him. When he heard that he had made merit, he immediately changed his words, "Bah."
Since there are benefits to gain, the atmosphere between the two sides gradually became harmonious. Pang Chong even picked up the teapot and filled the teacup. This kind of act of being arrogant at first and respectful at the end is worthy of being a good friend of Lu Yong'an, Fengxian, a junior high school student.
After pouring the tea, he picked up the teacup and turned it around and paused to his mouth, signaling Zuo Chong to drink with Guqi. Zuo Hong noticed the small movements in Pang Chong's hand, and a light flashed in his eyes.
Next, the three of them continued to greet for a while. After drinking tea, Zuo Chong stood up and said goodbye. Pang Chong sent them to the door. Before leaving, he repeatedly promised to give the secret service a reply as soon as possible.
"Thank you, Chief Pang, goodbye."
Zuo Chong held the other party's right hand tightly and shook it, looking very happy. Then he turned around and walked towards the parking lot, pretending not to notice the various peeping eyes in the training supervisor building.
Pang Chong stood there and saw him leave until he could not see the two of them. Then he returned to his office calmly and picked up the phone to tell his home that he would go home later tonight.
Let’s talk about Zuo Chong’s smile when he returned to the car and ordered Guqi beside him: “If you have any problems, conduct comprehensive monitoring immediately. I need to know his every move, so be careful.”
"Okay, Deputy Director."
Gu Qi was secretly shocked when he saw Zuo Chong's change of face. Pang Chong had a problem, but how did the deputy director know? According to his observation, Pang Chong's performance was normal and nothing unusual.
Perhaps he guessed his thoughts, Zuo Chong snorted coldly: "Did you see the other party's movement of turning the cup when raising the cup? It is the word "he" in the four spirits of "he", "jing", "qing" and "silence" in the Japanese tea ceremony.
In the Japanese values, harmony represents peace, that is, harmony between people. Whether it is a guest or a master, words and actions must conform to the meaning of harmony contained in the tea ceremony.
This person subconsciously made that move, perhaps because he noticed that something was wrong, and immediately interrupted. The reaction was very natural and quick, so that the brothers would not rely on investigation, as this opponent would be difficult to deal with."
"Pang Chong is Japanese!"
Guqi exclaimed, they had checked each other's background before, and had all the experiences from childhood to adulthood, with no gaps in their resumes, and their interpersonal relationships such as family, relatives and friends were very perfect.
How could such a person be a Japanese spy? Is it an impostor? But Pang Chong's relatives, classmates, and friends are not blind. The photos of his childhood also prove that he has not been transferred.
As for traitors to surrender to the enemy, it is even more impossible for spies to do jobs that can be found by just looking for someone. They must undergo rigorous training. The person's life trajectory is not abnormal and has not disappeared for a long time.
Zuo Chong signaled the driver to drive, pulled up the curtains on the car window and said, "Go back and give me Pang Chong's file. No matter how perfect the background is fake, there will be loopholes. What is fake is fake, it cannot be real."
"I understand, Deputy Director."
Guqi didn't think much about it. They suspected that the other party had problems and did not need evidence. They would monitor it for one day if they could not find evidence for a day, and would monitor it for one month if they could not find evidence for a month. They would always find evidence.
Unless this person is not active in the future, sooner or later, he will reveal his flaws. He really has no clue about the subsequent incident of Lu Yong's case, so Pang Chong just bumped into him.
This is a good start. If the other party has contact with the Japanese intelligence organization behind Su Zifu, this clue will be valuable, such as helping them find the person who releases bacterial weapons.
He returned to Honggong Temple speechlessly. It was already time to get off work. The spies walked out in groups of three or three. Guqi immediately arranged the surveillance personnel and sent someone to find Pang Chong's file.
Zuo Chong ate something casually and sat at the desk without sleeping all night. During this period, the surveillance personnel reported back Pang Chong's actions after they left. The other party made an appointment with several friends from the army to meet at night.
It seems that this guy didn't lie, and it is indeed as agreed to inquire about Su Zifu and Yang Changqing on Lu Yongyi's relationship network. Of course, it may also be acting, which doesn't mean anything.
Pang Chong, male, 47 years old, from Hunan Province, was born in a local church hospital. He attended a private school when he was young, and later entered a military school. He served as a sentry officer in the army of the previous dynasty and then joined the life-border party.
Zuo Chong looked at these materials over and over again, the more he looked at the doubts in his heart, the stronger his eyebrows became. His eyebrows frowned into the character Sichuan. Finally, he stood up and walked to the window, watching the rising sun slowly rising in the sky fell into deep thought.
The other party’s information is normal. It is normal for birth, study, joining the army, getting married, having children. Everything is done step by step. Just like the lives of most grassroots officials of the Fruit Party, there is nothing wrong with it.
But he always feels something is wrong. Sometimes the more ordinary people are, the more terrifying they are. The more ordinary people are, the more suspicious they are. The more ordinary people are, the more likely they are to do something shocking.
Turning back and walking to the desk, Zuo Chong recalled the basic information of Pang Chong's family. The other party's parents were alive, his wife was ordinary, and his children performed well, so he had no connection with Japan.
Let’s look at this person’s service experience. He has been in a middle and low position in the field troops. During the Northern Expedition, he fought bravely to kill the enemy and was seriously injured and did not step down the front line. He led his subordinates to the first to attack an important city.
If I hadn't been in the wrong team later, I would never have been a section chief until now. You should know that the lowest-level people who participated in the Northern Expedition with him became the division commanders, and the gap was too big.
Just seriously injured and unable to get off the line of fire?
Zuo Chong knocked on the table. There were many such people during the Northern Expedition. After all, the vitality and the state of competition for everything was not blown by the bald man. It was considered a rare highlight moment for the Fruit Party.
The key is the injury. If the internal organs are seriously injured and cannot leave the line of fire and can survive until now, then wouldn't it become a god? Do you really think that you are the captain of the Republic of China? Will there be any problems here?
Zuo Chong pondered for a moment and called a spy on duty to ask him to find Song Minghao to retrieve Pang Chong's medical records. These things should be in the archives of the Central Hospital, which is very convenient to find.
The truth is the same. It didn't take long for a document to be sent to the secret service. The paper was a little yellowed and recorded all the injuries, treatments and diagnosis information of Pang Chong after joining the army.
Turning to the page during the Northern Expedition, the record clearly states: He was seriously injured in his right upper arm, and the shrapnel was embedded in more than an inch of flesh and blood, and the blood flowed continuously. After the war, he recovered his health after treatment in the field hospital.
Strangely, there was no problem. Zuo Chong showed doubts and closed the information and touched it aside. Could it be that Pang Chong is an ordinary person who has learned Japanese tea ceremony culture? It is still wrong? How could such a coincidence be done?
He thought for a while, then went out to the Telecommunications Department and sent a telegram to Hunan Province, asking the other party to investigate some matters. As long as the intelligence was collected comprehensively, there would be no problem that could not be found out.
In the next two days, Pang Chong acted normally and called the secret service. Yanming, no one of Lu Yongwei's friends had ever heard of Su Zifu and Yang Changqing, and his tone seemed very disappointed.
Chapter completed!
