Suddenly jumped out...

morning.

In a small courtyard of Chaizhu Temple in Hankou.

The Yao family was sitting in the living room eating breakfast. Even though it only consisted of gruel, siu mai and pickles, it was already considered a rich meal in the current situation where soldiers were approaching and supplies were in short supply.

But Yao Li didn't have the mind to think about this. Ever since he was interviewed by the chief of the Secret Service, he had been uneasy and always felt that something was going to happen.

Mechanically putting the pickles into his mouth, he recalled the words of his "boss":

The background of the milk cake shop is unknown, and it can be used as bait to be handed over to the government. Firstly, it will help him to perform meritorious service and upgrade in the local police station. Secondly, he may be able to sneak into a higher department.

The fact was exactly as the other party thought. The young agent did invite him, but he refused.

Yao Li took a sip of porridge, and his eyes gradually became firm. He did not regret this principle. If it were not for his family, he would not...

well.

One misstep can lead to eternal regret.

"Bang~"

Just when he was filled with regret, the door was suddenly kicked open. Before the Yao family could react, a dozen young men suddenly rushed into the house and put guns to their heads.

As a police sergeant, Yao Li was qualified to hold a gun. In addition to the unstable situation, he carried a 90% new Browning with him. However, the person who came moved too fast and did not draw the gun for him.

Chance.

"Don't move, I'll beat you to death if you do."

As he spoke, one person reached out and took off the pistol from his waist. He stared into Yao Li's eyes and was ready to shoot at any time.

Yao Li was unusually calm and said with a wry smile: "You are finally here. I have been sleeping with one eye open for the past few years. This will be a relief.

Brothers, Yao will go with you and will never resist, but the harm will not harm my wife and children, so please let my parents, wife and children go."

The visitors looked at each other without agreeing or rejecting. Without saying a word, they inspected Yao Li's clothes and mouth, put on handcuffs, shackles, a hood and a gag on him.

Later, the same treatment was done to the Yao family. The deputy director said that no one should be left out, so no one should be left out, as it would not bring harm to his wife and children, not including the family members of the traitors who were in cahoots with him.

They enjoy the benefits of betraying national interests, so why can they stay out of it? Besides, are they really unaware of what the people around them have done?

I'm afraid he is just pretending not to know. Apart from other things, Yao Li's parents and wife must have an idea of ​​how much money Yao Li earns and how much money his family spends.

Sure enough, the three adults of the Yao family turned pale when they saw the weapon. They did not complain or struggle. They were led out of the gate by the agents and invited to the car.

On the other side, although Yao Li couldn't hear, he was not deaf. When he saw that his family was being arrested, he tried to break free. The agents knocked him unconscious and threw him into the prison car.

The two children were carried by the female agent into another car. Finally, someone locked the courtyard door, and the convoy left under countless prying eyes.

"What happened to the Yao family?"

"What else could be wrong? Didn't you see that their family enjoys spicy food every day? It must be something that happened to Yao Li."

"That's right, that's right, the chairman of the committee (Harmony) is so wise. He arrested a corrupt (harmony) official as soon as he arrived in Jiangcheng."

"The Yao family is in trouble~"

The neighbors were talking angrily, with gloating expressions on their faces, fully demonstrating what it means to be irritated and laugh at others.

One of the neighbors didn't mock him, but looked around furtively, walked quietly through the alley to the main road, and walked into a store with a telephone.

A few minutes later, the man disappeared into the busy street with a relaxed expression, completely unaware that the owner of the paper shop at the corner of the street was looking at him coldly.

After a while, the owner of the paper-making shop looked at the busy road, turned around and came to the house behind the shop, raised his hand and picked up the phone and called a number.

After a long wait, a few conversations rang out in the dark room.

"Our friend has a cold."

"Oh? Have you infected others?"

"No, everything is business as usual."

"Well, keep warm and keep in touch."

At the same time, in an office building in Wuchang on the other side of the river, a man in military uniform hung up the phone with a gloomy face.

Through the conversation just now, a sense of urgency came to him, which made him feel a little restless and thought to himself that the matter could not be postponed any longer.

The Secret Service has a nose sharper than a dog. Even if Yao Li, who is in charge of peripheral intelligence collection, does not know their true identities, there is no guarantee that the Secret Service will not find clues through other channels.

“Ding-deng-deng.”

At this time, someone knocked on the door outside. The man quickly adjusted his expression, replied in a deep voice, picked up the pen and lowered his head to pretend to review the document.

The door opened, and a second lieutenant walked up to the man and saluted: "Director, the attendant's office informed that the leader wants to listen to your report.

They ask you to wait at the gate in half an hour, and someone will pick you up then. During this period, I will stay with you."

The meaning of this statement is obvious. At best, it’s called escorting; at worst, it’s surveillance to prevent someone from leaking someone’s schedule.

The man put down his pen and replied happily: "Okay, that's hard work. It's a good arrangement to avoid any misunderstandings."

You go sit on the sofa first, and then go to the door after I finish handling the official business. The Japanese are so aggressive that the combat mission cannot be delayed."

He motioned to the second lieutenant to sit down, pretending that he had no food and no clothes, and continued to draw on the document until another call came in.

"Dingling bell~"

The harsh ringtone made the man frown. From the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the second lieutenant who had already walked to the phone. He clenched the pen with a sharp tip in his right hand and picked up the phone without hesitation with his left hand.

"Hello, who's there?"

"It's me. Do you have any plans tonight? If not, come to my place and let's have a drink. There's a business I want to talk to you about."

A soft voice came from the phone, and the sounds of women playing and playing could be vaguely heard.

The man breathed a sigh of relief, put the pen gently on the table, leaned back on the chair, laughed, and started chatting with the other party.

"Your dignified director of the Secret Service Headquarters, no, he is the future director of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics of the Central Executive Committee. When did you run away to do business?"

The caller was Xu Enzeng. When he heard the man's reply, he said meaningfully: "I'm not doing business, but I have friends who are. I heard that the Air Defense Command has sufficient military rations..."

"etc."

The man cursed secretly and quickly interrupted his words. He glanced at the prison. The lieutenant who was listening said sternly: "Director Xu, it's not that I don't want to give you face. I'm really busy with official duties.

Let's do this. After a few days when I have free time, I will personally host a banquet to invite you to apologize. Okay, okay, if you have anything to do, we can wait until we meet. I'll hang up now."

Without waiting for Xu Enzeng to talk nonsense, Kuangdang put the microphone on the stand and gave the order to the second lieutenant: "Record, Director Xu from the Secret Service Headquarters called me once. After recording, sign for confirmation."

"This is!"

The second lieutenant thought about it for a while. Anyway, he was temporarily assigned to be responsible for surveillance. He would have to hang out in the agency in the future. There was no need to offend the powerful director. Besides, it was not a violation of discipline, so he nodded and agreed.

The man smiled, looked at his watch, stood up, went to the clothes rack, took off his military cap, put it on and walked out of the office, striding straight to the door with a smile on his face.

In the Jiangcheng telephone exchange, Zuo Zhong was also smiling and asked Wu Chunyang with his hands on his hips: "Chunyang, you just recorded everything."

"It was recorded and it's very clear. I used a new tape recorder from Germany, and the effect is much better than a wire recorder." Wu Chunyang replied affirmatively.

"Good! Very good!"

Zuo Chong never expected that they would set up a dragnet around Yao Li's residence and not only find two suspected spies, but also drag Xu Enzeng in. It was a double happiness~

This was not a trap set by him, it was brought upon by the man named Xu. Alas, such an investigation is useless. Just send someone to keep an eye on Xu Enzeng. Anyway, the other party is either a spy or an underground party.

Gu Qi, who was watching the excitement from the sidelines, gave a thumbs up: "Deputy Director, you have a clever plan and used Yao Li as a bait, and you really found the Japanese spies and the bad elements hiding in the government."

"Yes, when you said you wanted to arrest the Yao family, I secretly felt that you were a little too hasty. It turns out that you wanted to use this to lure out the person behind the target. Gao, it's really Gao." Song Minghao is also an old fan.

"Who says it's not the case? We all think about working hard on people, and only the deputy director thought of conducting technical investigations over the phone." Wu Jingzhong, the king of golden sentences, looked admiring.

"Okay, don't put your hat on me. They are all veterans. The trick of luring a snake out of its hole is not a novelty. Chunyang, tell me about the person who answered the phone."

Zuo Zhong, who has been tested for a long time, will naturally not be affected by the low-level flattery of the three people. He will not predict the situation beforehand. The arrangement of technical investigation is only a reasonable guess based on the known situation.

Assuming that there is an informant around Yao Li, after something happens to the other party, how will the informant report it urgently? Of course, it will be a meeting or a phone call.

However, members of the intelligence team generally do not live in the same area. Firstly, it is not safe, and secondly, it is not convenient to collect intelligence on a larger scale.

If this situation is transferred to Jiang City, there is a high probability that members of the Japanese intelligence organization are scattered throughout the three towns and lurking, and the informants may need to cross the river to report.

The problem is that the city is now full of military and police officers, and inspections on personnel movement are extremely strict. Many unidentified people or people who cannot explain their origins have been arrested.

So the phone became the other party's only option. As for the telegraph machine, let's not talk about whether there are eye spies or not. Even if there is, the electric reconnaissance vehicle cruising around is not a decoration.

Based on the above reasons, Zuo Zhong decided to monitor the phone calls around Yao Li's residence. Moreover, technical investigation is highly concealed and difficult to be discovered. It costs nothing to try.

Upon hearing Zuo Zhong's question, Wu Chunyang's face straightened: "Deputy Director, we are in big trouble. The person who answered the phone is Gu Zhongya, director of the Operations Department of Jiangcheng Air Defense Command, with the rank of major general.

This person is from Hunan Province, he is 39 years old, he graduated from Huangpu, he is a good dancer, he has a wide network of contacts in his class, and he has personal contacts with many high-level officials, so it is difficult to arrest him at will."

After talking about Gu Zhongya's information, Wu Chunyang glanced at Zuo Zhong and lowered his voice to report the latest situation.

"It is reported that the Chairman of the Committee (Harmony) will receive this guy at the official residence of Banshanlu. The bureau chief is also present. I am worried that the other party will be unfavorable to the leader. How to deal with this matter needs to be decided by you."

"What!?"

Zuo Zhong stood up abruptly, looking horrified.
Chapter completed!
