Time slowly came to the second half of the night. For the people of Guoan, although it was normal to stay up all night, the natural laws of the human body could not be violated.
The people responsible for tracking Lin Weidong all yawned.
"This guy actually came out to take orders?"
In an old-fashioned Jetta, after following him all night and getting nothing at all, a young man who had just started working could not help but complain.
Lao Zhou on the side smiled and said: "You kid, where are you now? Do you think our national security is like what we show on TV?"
"One action is a big action, and one action can bring results?"
Xiao Wei chuckled, scratched his head and said, "Master, I'm just complaining, and we are still on standby."
I worked hard all night, but in the end I got nothing. It would be unusual not to have any resentment in my heart, and Lao Zhou was also a little unhappy.
But he can control his emotions.
After all, after working in national security for so many years, I don’t know how many similar situations I have encountered.
The one that impressed him most was four years ago, when they received a tip that the three overseas spies they were hunting were preparing to abscond by fishing boats.
Lao Zhou was one of the police officers at that time. They successfully located the fishing boat. It was surrounded by layers of coast guard and was in the open sea.
Logically speaking, actions should be foolproof.
As a result, they didn't catch any of the three spies.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, surrounded by layers of people, three overseas spies jumped into the sea and escaped.
According to the informant's description, these three people were probably the same group of people who kidnapped missile expert Huang Deming.
Seeing that his master stopped talking, Xiao Wei thought that his master was angry, so he quickly expressed his guess.
"Master, do you think there is a possibility that Hummingbird may appear to be driving out of the car, but actually he is completing the task assigned to him by his superiors?"
"Yes, it's hard for you to think of this."
Lao Zhou smiled and nodded, with a look of appreciation in his eyes.
"What you said is indeed a possibility. Xiao Wei, master will test you. What would you do if you encountered this situation?"
Xiao Wei thought for a moment and replied in an uncertain tone.
“Photograph everyone who comes into contact with a hummingbird?”
"Then check them one by one?"
"This is one way."
Lao Zhou nodded to show his approval, and then started to ask questions again.
"Is there any other way?"
Xiao Wei thought for a while and shook his head in annoyance.
"No, I only think of this way."
Immediately, he asked with curiosity on his face.
"Master, what are the other methods you mentioned?"
Lao Zhou smiled slightly and pointed at his eyes.
"Actually, the method is very simple, it depends on observation."
"Those in our profession basically deal with spies. Once you see more of them, you can naturally make a rough judgment about who might be a spy."
As he said this, Lao Zhou's characteristic of being a teacher began to show up again.
"Disguise is the basic skill of a spy. The best disguise is the one you can't find again if you throw it into a crowd."
"But in practice, it's difficult."
"An excellent spy has already integrated anti-tracking and anti-reconnaissance into their bones. When they arrive in a strange environment, they will unconsciously observe the surrounding environment."
"At the same time, he will simulate the best escape route in his mind."
"If at this time, there is a pair of eyes hiding in the dark to observe, and the person observing is someone who is extremely familiar with the spy business."
"Then the behavior of spies will be infinitely magnified."
Although Lao Zhou is just an ordinary grassroots national security officer, his vicious vision is very famous in the bureau.
Never underestimate a veteran policeman who has been in the police force for many years. In terms of follow-up and observation, Lao Zhou's ability can definitely be ranked among the top three in the bureau.
At five o'clock in the morning, after driving all night, Lin Weidong couldn't help but start to feel sleepy. He rubbed his temples on both sides and then looked down at the time.
It's five o'clock.
It's almost time.
He drove most of the night tonight just to prepare the ground for the next action.
At this moment, he didn't know that he had been exposed and was being followed, but he was still very careful.
His superiors asked him to go to the meeting after five o'clock. According to his daily routine, if he didn't work late at night, there would be flaws.
There are usually two drivers in a taxi, one working the day shift and the other working the night shift. They park the car constantly, maximizing the value of the taxi license.
The same is true for the car driven by Lin Weidong. He usually works the day shift and occasionally the night shift. The handover time between the day shift and the night shift is seven in the morning.
If he doesn't change his shift and goes out after five o'clock in the morning, and if he goes out across the city, his behavior will inevitably be abrupt.
His family doesn't know his hidden identity.
People are not like grass and trees, and they can be ruthless. After five years of living together, Lin Weidong has regarded his wife and son as the most important people in his life.
If he were allowed to go back ten years ago, he would definitely not sign up for that so-called training class.
Yes.
He was a spy, but he regretted it!
He was used to the life of a hot bed with a wife and children, and he had completely integrated into it. If his superiors hadn't occasionally given him instructions, he would have forgotten that he was a spy.
Lin Weidong knew what his current behavior meant.
If his identity was reported, according to mainland China's sentencing standards, he would have to be sentenced to at least ten to eight years.
It is precisely because he knows that he is afraid and regrets.
Ten or eight years after entering the house, what will happen to his wife?
Lin Weidong was born in a single-parent family, and he was all too aware of the hardships of a woman raising a child alone.
That's how his mother came here.
If life hadn't been too hard, his mother wouldn't have died of illness when he was eighteen years old due to overwork.
"well."
After thinking about it, Lin Weidong couldn't help but sigh.
His life is like a one-way train, with no return and no stopping point along the way. Once you get on this train, you can never look back.
He has no right to regret now!
His future is not in his own hands, but in the hands of his superiors.
The superiors have all the information on him, including what he has done in the past, how many missions he has sent out, and what impact he has had. It is all listed one by one.
Once these things get into the hands of Guoan, he is completely finished.
And now?
Although what he did was dangerous, the superiors might give up on him when necessary.
But this is only possible.
As long as he does not encounter special circumstances and completes the tasks assigned by his superiors, he can return to a peaceful life.
