Everyone has their own actions

Two hours later.

Gui Youguang, who was sweating profusely, came back. He picked up the water glass on the table and took two sips. Out of breath, he reported the results of the hunt to Zuo Zhong.

According to him, the operatives found blood stains outside the camp and followed the blood stains all the way to the border. Judging from the traces at the scene, Du Heng should have jumped and escaped.

It was so cold and the target was injured again. He thought that the opponent had little chance of survival, so he brought a large force back first, leaving a small group of people to cooperate with the police in searching for bodies along the coast.

It's not that he underestimated the enemy, the Changjiang River narrowed near the mountain city, the flow speed became faster, and there were many reefs and whirlpools in the river. Even if Du Heng didn't freeze to death, he would be swept to the bottom by the river water.

After listening to this, Zuo Zhong felt that Du Heng was not so easy to sacrifice. None of these underground party fighters with firm beliefs had climbed out of the dead. It was normal to overcome physiological limits.

But he still nodded, agreeing to the arrangement. Anyway, if something went wrong, someone would take the blame, so what did he have to do with it? He then discussed the following work with Gucci.

Time passed unknowingly, and the sun set quickly. There were only a few scattered lights in a small village more than 20 miles downstream from the mountain city, and the river beside the village was flowing turbulently.

In the darkness, a pale hand suddenly grasped Chang'an. The weak Du Heng climbed up with all his strength, holding tightly the wooden box he snatched from the spy's hands.

Without enough time to stop the bleeding, he stumbled into the village and gently knocked on the door of one of the houses. A middle-aged man dressed as a teacher heard the sound and pushed open the door.

When Du Heng saw the familiar face, his expression relaxed. He used his last strength to write the words "notification thumbtack" on the ground and pushed the wooden box out, then passed out completely.

at the same time.

In a room in the mountain city with the windows firmly nailed shut by curtains, two people were discussing in a low voice what to do with Xin Lisheng, and there seemed to be some disagreement between their words.

"Team leader, I think Xin must be eliminated in time. His existence is a hidden danger for us that cannot be ignored. If he confesses to the Chinese, you and the entire team will be in danger."

One of them decided to get rid of Xin Lisheng, but the other person who talked to him did not think so and told the reason.

"No, this person cannot be killed yet. When I met him, his appearance and hidden identity were not revealed, and he did not know your existence.

Besides, it is still unknown whether Xin Lisheng has been arrested. A rash move to eliminate him will only attract the attention of the military command.

Besides, the underground party named Du Heng is of great intelligence value and may have a big secret behind it. We need Xin Lisheng to contact him."

This person spoke neither too fast nor too slowly, with a standard mountain town accent. While speaking, he held up a hookah and puffed on it.

In the smoke, the other person hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind to tell what he was really worried about.

"But you saw him at Haitangxi Pier. There are many people there. If someone recognizes you... the consequences will be very serious."

"Hula~"

The pipe rang again, and a voice sounded after more than ten seconds: "It's up to you to decide. If you have any problems, deal with them. Don't let Sun Renyi find out. This person is very difficult to deal with.

You know that the other party is a senior member of the Shancheng Ge Lao Association. He is an old official, and together with our old rival Juntong, we need to recruit a few more good players during the operation. Don't be careless."

"Yes, team leader."

The person on the other side replied and slowly disappeared into the darkness. A beam of moonlight shone into the main hall next door, and a plaque with gold paint on a black background hung high on the wall.

There is no shortage of conspiracies in this world, and there are no real secrets. The next day, Dai Chunfeng called Zuo Zhong's desk to inquire about the progress of the investigation of the case.

When Lao Dai confirmed that the first and second divisions had captured a suspect and were interrogating him and preparing to conduct an in-depth investigation into the Japanese espionage organization behind it, he hung up the phone with confidence.

As the first director after the reorganization of the military, the Huangshan Residence case put a lot of pressure on him. All parties were waiting for the results and the case must be concluded as soon as possible.

Now that a breakthrough has been found, it is only a matter of time before the case is solved. Lao Dai is still very confident in his proud disciple's ability to work.

However, Zuo Zhong was not as optimistic as Mr. Bianyi. He slowly put the microphone back on the stand and asked Gu Qi to take a car to Haitangxi Pier and prepare to meet someone.

The mountain town in winter is constantly raining. The sky that had just been clear for a day started to drizzle again. A black car was driving on the slippery mountain road, and the wheels brought up a burst of water mist.

In the carriage, Gu Qi asked one thing, that is, whether Wu Chunyang's property had been harvested. According to Xin Lisheng's confession, there were other people who leaked the location of the official residence, among which those subordinates were the most suspect.

Three suspects were found in one place last time. After the past few days of investigation, there should be more discoveries. If one of them can be related to Xin Lisheng, things will be simple.

In addition, during this period, Wu Chunyang disappeared and did not report to the deputy director. This situation had never happened before. Gu Qi was indeed a little curious about what the other party was doing.

But Zuo Zhong looked at the raindrops hitting the car window and did not answer. There were some things that had not yet been said. This had nothing to do with trust. It was indeed that the task of the first department had not been completed.

Half an hour later, the car stopped at the entrance of the Wenrentang teahouse. The tea waiter dressed in black quickly invited the two of them to the back hall to meet with Sun Renyi, the flag bearer.

At this time, the old man was holding a copy of "Thirty-six Stratagems" and reading it with gusto. It turned out that hooligans are not scary, but hooligans are educated.

Zuo Zhong really wanted to ask the other party if he wanted to eat fish, but his surname was Sun rather than Gao, so he probably didn't have such a hobby, so he handed over his hand and shouted.

"Sun holds the flag, you are so good."

Sun Renyi, who was shaking his head, looked up and saw that it was a spy from the military command. He secretly cursed that it was really a lynx who had entered the house - it was not a good thing. On the surface, he stood up and replied with a smile.

"It turns out to be Sir Zuo, please sit down."

Then he raised his hand to signal Zuo Zhong. Gu Qi sat down and poured another cup of tea for the two of them. This time there was no tea ceremony because he had already seen the powerful energy of Juntong.

After Xu Enzeng, who was originally aggressive, was warned, he never caused trouble to Wenrentang again. Bai Wenzhi, who was impoverished, stopped asking for money and was very polite to him as brother-in-law.

It would be fatal to show off in front of such a powerful organization. Sun Renyi was able to get to this position and knew when to bow his head.

Zuo Zhong glanced at this person sideways, knowing that the other person was giving in, so he didn't bother to say any more polite words and directly explained his purpose.

"Sun Zhangqi, this is my old partner next to me. The two of us are here today just for one thing. I want you to help us find out the details and whereabouts of a person.

The other party once appeared in a hotel at Haitangxi Wharf. At that time, he and this person were sitting in the Linxiang seats. Here are the photos and related circumstances."

As he spoke, Zuo Zhong took out a photo of Xin Lisheng and a piece of paper with the name of the restaurant and the menu on it, put it on the table and pushed it in front of Sun Renyi, without giving the other party a chance to refuse.

Sun Renyi was complaining in his heart. He had been scolded as a hawk by other brothers when he helped the army conduct an investigation on the people belonging to Huangshan's official residence. If he attacks the dock again, his reputation will be lost.

But looking at the smiling Agent Gou, and thinking of the rumors that he would kill people when he smiled, he reluctantly picked up the photo and note and handed them to the tea waiter, saying a few words.

The tea waiter nodded while listening, and then quickly walked out of the back hall. Sun Renyi watched his men leave, turned around and confidently said that there would be news soon, and the formation was not lost if the enemy was defeated.

Zuo Zhong understood the meaning of his words, which were both to show off and show strength. However, the military command did not allow such arrogant people to exist in the mountain city, so he immediately coughed lightly and said.

"Sun Zhangqi, Zuo forgot to remind you about something. In order to prevent the Japanese from retaliating, I sent someone to invite your family, Lao Zhangqi, who introduced you to the family, to a secret place.

Brother, don’t worry, unless all my people are dead, no one can hurt them even a hair, I guarantee this in the name of the Military Command Bureau."

He seriously used his language to the extreme. After all, how could a dignified public servant threaten innocent people? After speaking, he took a sip of tea.

rest assured?

Don't worry, I'll give you a hammer!

Sun Renyi gritted his teeth, and his hands hidden under the table were tightly clenched into fists. Even though the other party threatened his family, he actually tied up Lao Zhangqi.

I think that Mr. Sun was just a poor farmer a few decades ago. If Lao Zhangqi hadn't first accepted him into the Ge Laohui, and then opened an incense hall and promoted him as the leader, how would he be today?

No wonder they say that dealing with spies is like seeking skin from a tiger. These people don't follow the Qiaohu rules that no harm should come to the family at all, and they arrest the old seniors who wash their hands in the golden basin at will.

But being under the eaves, he had to lower his head. Sun Renyi took a few deep breaths and prepared to coax the other person to get better before making any plans. Unexpectedly, Zuo Zhong spoke again.

"Sun Zhangqi, don't think that I'm doing this to harm you. Japanese spies can even sneak into the official residence of the commissioner. How can you fight with the people of Jianghu on your own?"

Once the Japanese know that you are assisting the military commander, believe it or not, within three days, all the people related to you will disappear and die without a burial place."

A warning is a warning, and you must grasp the right balance. A rabbit will bite when it is in a hurry, let alone a boss who has great hands and eyes.

Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Sun Renyi couldn't help but be stunned. After all, he was a man who was used to running around on the docks on Changhu Lake. He immediately stood up and bowed to express his thanks.

Zuo Zhong pressed his hand to let him sit down, and suddenly smiled and joked: "Of course, if Sun Zhangqi cooperates with the Japanese, then there is no need to worry about this, and maybe we can take the opportunity to unify the Shancheng Brother Laohui.

"

"Sir Zuo!"

Sun Renyi's expression changed, and he said in a sincere tone: "You know the origin of my brother's association. Patriotism, loyalty, and protecting our family and country are the foundation for us brothers to settle down and live in peace.

The Japanese killed my compatriots and took over our land. Although Sun is a reckless person, he also knows that there is no way for an egg to be completed under a large family, and he will never act like a thief as his father."

He said these two sentences extremely sincerely. There is a saying that those who are righteous are mostly dog-slaughters, while those who are heartless are mostly scholars. The lower-class people have their own simple view of right and wrong.

The atmosphere in the room was much more relaxed now. The three of them drank tea while discussing the progress of Brother Lao's investigation into the officials and their relatives. Dozens of minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

Just when Zuo Zhong was getting impatient with waiting, the tea waiter came back in a hurry. His hair and clothes were covered with wet mud, he smelled of earth, and he looked quite embarrassed.

He wiped the mud on his face, glanced at Zuo Zhong and the two secretly, and then whispered into Sun Renyi's ear.

"Holding the flag, there are brothers..."

"It doesn't have to be like this. We have no secrets in front of the two officers. Let's just tell them."

Sun Renyi waved his hands and pretended to be generous. It wouldn't work if he wasn't generous. His family and his boss' flag were in his hands. If the other party mistakenly thought he was playing tricks, he couldn't bear the consequences.

The tea waiter nodded and told the result of the inquiry angrily: "In charge of the flag, the brothers in charge of the surrounding areas of the hotel were killed. It is not yet clear who the murderer is.

When I arrived, I found that one person was still alive, so I sent him to the hospital. He fell over several times quickly and slowly, and finally managed to save his life for the time being.

The brothers outside have already started to take action after hearing the news. Let's decide what to do next. After finding the murderer, whether to fight or make peace, you have to make up your mind to hold the flag."

"What a courage!"

Sun Renyi was furious when he heard this. He stood up and slammed the table. Since he became the flag bearer, no one in Shancheng has dared to provoke him or Wen Rentang for many years.

Moreover, he has always been kind to people and has good relations with all aspects of the society. Otherwise, he would not be able to secure this position. You must know that Qiao Hu is not only about fighting and killing, but also about worldly relationships.

Could it be that someone wanted to occupy Haitangxi Wharf, a prosperous and prosperous land that made a lot of money every day? Thinking of this, his expression became more gloomy and his heart was filled with murderous intent.

Zuo Zhong's pupils next to him shrank. Just as he was about to investigate the whereabouts of the Japanese spy, Brother Pao at the meeting point was killed. Could it be such a coincidence?

I'm afraid this is not a fight in the lake at all, but a murder and silence. Why did the Japanese spies kill a few low-level robes? The answer is easy to come out - the dead have seen the Japanese spies.

It seems that the water in Ge Laohui is very deep. It’s interesting. Let’s see how many big fish this net can catch. Zuo Zhong held the teacup in his hand with a smile on his face.
