Chapter 168 Seabirds Seabirds Zuo Zhong glanced at Shen Dongxin who was pointing at his watch beside him. Knowing that it was getting late, he said goodbye: "Dai still has things to deal with. I'll leave today. I'll visit again the next day and say goodbye." After saying that, he left in a dashing manner, quite like a knight-errant. But when he got out of the mountain gate, he slapped his thigh heavily: "Oops, I forgot to ask the old monk for the bill. How can I reimburse myself for this?" Shen Dongxin, who almost froze to death outside the hospital, was silent for a long time. He held back the anger in his heart and asked, "How does Master Benjie make you feel? How do we go to Putuo Zen Temple next?" Zuo Zhong shook his head and said hesitantly: "He is compassionate, free and easy, has many hobbies, is simple, and has a good reputation. I can't see this person clearly, so I won't care about him for now. I will drive around and go to Putuo Zen Temple." This is his summary of Ben Zhi. In short, he is a somewhat contradictory person. However, except for the question about Nanyang, Zuo Zhong did not find any doubts, so the level of suspicion is temporarily ranked third. They drove around Mount Putuo, changed their clothes, and appeared at the gate of Putuo Zen Temple. They stated their intention as usual, but the words of the monk Zhike shocked them. “What, Master Zhanjing went to Japan? When did he leave?” “Yes, the host was invited by Sensoji Temple in Tokyo to give a lecture. He just left today.” Zuo Zhong and Shen Dongxinzhan both looked a little ugly. Could it be that the spy was Zhan Jing, who had heard something or felt something was wrong and evacuated decisively?
Baldhead takes this matter very seriously. If he knew that a Japanese spy had escaped under the nose of the Secret Service, he would definitely be furious, and Dai Chunfeng and Zuo Zhong would not feel good either. "Section Chief, there should be news from Deputy Chief Gu." Shen Dongxin thought that the Intelligence Section had manpower around these suspicious persons, and maybe Zhanjing had been successfully intercepted. Zuo Zhong is not so optimistic. Putuo Mountain is so big. If Zhanjing is really intercepted, Gu Qi will not send people to find them for such a big thing. Something must have happened. He quickened his pace and walked towards the car, saying, "Let's go back and see what's going on. Lao Gu is more reliable than decisive. I hope he can make a decisive decision." At the same time, Zuo Zhong also had another worry. The close tracking went smoothly before, but the other party left as soon as he came. Could someone have leaked the news? That would be a big problem. The car quickly arrived at the temporary accommodation, which was already in a panic. The agents were standing in the yard. Gu Qi seemed to be preparing to lecture. When he saw Zuo Zhong coming back, he felt like seeing a savior and hurriedly walked to the car. “Section Chief, it’s not good, Zhanjing took a car to the dock this morning. Our car suddenly broke down while we were following him. By the time the backup team caught up, the other party had already taken a ship to Shanghai. After learning the news, I planned to send someone to Ningbo to find Miss He and ask her to contact District Chief Yu. People from East China District would intercept her in Shanghai, and our people would take the nearest ship to pursue her. " Gu Qi told him his arrangement in one breath, and Zuo Zhong's face looked a little better. Gu Qi's remedial measures were appropriate. It could be intercepted in Shanghai to keep it secret. As for the car breaking down, there was nothing that could be done. Of course, we had to make sure it was true. It was a mechanical failure, not someone sabotaging it. He looked at the agents lining up and pulled Gu Qi aside: "The people here can't move their hands. Let the brothers at home in Jinling go to Shanghai. They are closer. I want to ask you something." Before Gu Qi could react from the blow of Zhan Jing's decoupling, he heard that Zuo Zhong wanted to ask him something and said quickly: "Whether or not I am the person responsible for this matter is all my fault and has nothing to do with anyone else." Zuo Zhong shook his head solemnly and whispered: "I just came here and left Zhanjing, and the vehicle I was following happened to break down on the road. These two things are too coincidental and need to be investigated. It’s not that we don’t believe everyone, but you and I are in this position, and doubt is our bounden duty. Think about it, are there any people acting alone or anything suspicious these days? " When Gu Qi heard these two things, he felt that it was too much of a coincidence. He recalled the entire operation, and finally he was very sure: "No, except Tong Suo and Shen Dongxin, all other personnel work in pairs. Every night The operation report was conducted separately and I received no relevant information.” Zuo Zhong nodded slightly and patted Gu Qi on the shoulder: "That's good, I can't blame you for this. The legs are on Zhanjing's body, and we can't follow too closely. It is inevitable that something like this will happen. Gu Qi smiled with difficulty. He knew that Zuo Zhong was trying to comfort him. If there were two vehicles tracking alternately at that time, they would not have lost the target on a small island. This was a dereliction of duty. He took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Section Chief, after this operation, I will conduct a review and ask for punishment myself. If this matter is not dealt with, it will affect the entire Intelligence Section. If you want to treat others, you must first treat yourself. If everyone finds reasons for the failure of the action, it won't be long before we are like the secret service headquarters. I am willing to bear all the responsibilities. " Seeing the seriousness on his face, Zuo Zhong knew that he was dedicated to serving the public good, but now was not the time to investigate the responsibility, so he said: "Zhanjing's ship arrived in Shanghai at night, and the interception method must be considered. Unfortunately, there is no need between China and Japan. Passport and visa, otherwise it will hold him back."
Gu Qi thought for a while and suggested: "Secret arrest, secret interrogation, and secret execution if there are any problems. Zhanjing is a famous eminent monk. The slightest carelessness will cause a huge disturbance. He cannot be exposed to the outside world, especially The press knows about it, otherwise it will cause an uproar again.” The advantage of Gu Qi's suggestion is that it is direct and efficient, but the disadvantage is that there is no escape route. It's okay that Zhan Jing is a real spy. Once an unjust, false, and wrong case is caused, it will be an eternal shame for the Intelligence Department and Zuo Zhong. Zuo Zhong did not want to be nailed to the pillar of shame, so he asked and answered: "It is easy to secretly capture Zhanjing, but what is the possibility that he is a Japanese spy? If he is a Japanese spy and notices our actions, he should choose Secret evacuation. However, based on existing intelligence analysis, he did not hide his whereabouts and seemed to be happy for others to know that he was invited to Japan. This deliberately showing off behavior was in line with his character. " Gu Qi thought of the contents of the surveillance record and agreed. Zhanjing is more like an actor than a monk. This person attaches great importance to his reputation and image. Zuo Zhong continued his analysis: “The relationship between the Chinese and Japanese governments is tense, but there are frequent economic, cultural, and religious exchanges among the people, so it is still possible for Zhanjing to be invited to Japan. Being invited to the most famous temple in Japan is an affirmation for him. There is an explanation for why he set off in such a hurry. I feel that I cannot arrest him for the time being and continue to observe. " Speaking of this, Zuo Zhong made up his mind: "Go in person and ask He Yijun to tell District Chief Yu, and try to create as much trouble as possible so that Zhan Jing cannot make the trip. The specific surveillance work is handed over to Jinling's support personnel, so that they can be more vigilant and pay attention to whether anyone with a suspicious identity comes into contact with Zhanjing. " Gu Qi left immediately after receiving the order. It would take several hours to get from Putuo Mountain to Ningbo, and it would also take several hours for the East China District to understand the intelligence and arrange the operation. If you can't catch up with Zhan Jing before he disembarks, once he disappears in the metropolis of Shanghai, you won't be able to find him in a short time, unless you risk taking action on the ship to Japan. Zuo Zhong called Shen Dongxin after Gu Qi left. He had a task to give him. “Dongxin, do you know anything about mechanics?” “Know something.” “Now check these cars to see if there are any signs of vandalism.” "yes." But Shen Dongxin watched it for a long time, and based on his little mechanical knowledge, he judged that this was a simple breakdown due to overheating of the engine. This conclusion made Zuo Zhong's frown quietly loosen, as long as the Intelligence Section has no problem. Let Shen Dongxin go to rest, and he found a place to sit down. The images of Shen Ku, Ben Zhi, and Zhan Jing appeared back and forth in his mind. Suffer deeply, care about the working people, have a very direct personality, have no good impression of rich people, do not value money very much, and are a good old man. This one is very complicated. According to Tongsuo's information, he spoke harshly to other masters at Tiantong Temple, but when he saw him himself, he seemed so compassionate and in need of money. Zhanjing, arrogant, jealous of talents, and a bit vain. His attitude towards money is unknown. It is said that he regards money as dirt. After thinking for a long time, Zuo Zhong came up with nothing, but he was not discouraged. He was going to change his mind and try to analyze who was most likely to know and leak the ancient tomb based on the clues from Xiaoguan Mountain. If you think about it from this aspect, Ben Zhi's suspicion is not small. Faced with Zuo Zhong's US dollars, he did not resist the temptation, no matter what the reason. It's just that the wealth of the ancient tomb is a huge amount of wealth. Shen Ku and Zhan Jing don't care about the small money. What about the big money? Just when Zuo Zhong wanted to analyze it in depth, he was interrupted by a shout. “Section Chief, Section Chief!” A special agent knocked on the door and rushed in with a happy look on his face: “The latest news from the dock is that because the sea is too rough today, Monk Zhanjing’s ship has returned to Putuo again.” Zuo Zhong suddenly stood up: "What did you say? Where did the information come from? Is it reliable?" This news was so good that it was a bit unbelievable. The unhooked fish swam back again. Zuo Zhong even thanked his car for breaking down. If Zhan Jing was not a spy, but was arrested by them at the dock, then he was a real spy. Just know. The agent smiled and wiped his sweat: "This is the news from Deputy Section Chief Gu. He was about to take a boat back to Ningbo. He saw Zhanjing with his own eyes at the dock. He is now following him and sending someone back to deliver the message."
“Haha.” Zuo Zhong laughed heartily: “God help me, send people to support immediately, keep it secret, and ask Deputy Section Chief Gu to come back immediately.” “Yes.” The agent walked away with a smile on his face. The strong wind outside the house became more and more fierce, and the seabirds fell under the eaves one after another. It seemed that even these little elves could not resist the wrath of nature. Zuo Zhong smiled and took out a piece of bread, broke it into pieces and threw it on the ground. The seabirds They came in droves. Perhaps attracted by the food, more and more seabirds came to take refuge and look for food. Zuo Zhong was feeding, his smile slowly disappeared, and there was a trace of surprise on his face. He seemed to know who the Japanese spy was. It really didn't happen. I thought it was that person. There are 500 words of extra words from the author. In the guest room of Shanghai East Asia Hotel, an old man in kimono frowned, as if he had something difficult to decide. He thought for a long time, raised his head and asked the young man in front of him: "Excuse me, Jin Sang, are you really a descendant of the Qing Empire's royal family?" The young man replied in proficient Japanese: "Mr. Sakamoto, you are the Taishan Beidou of the Japanese business world, and I will never dare to deceive you. And you have also seen the letter of authorization given to me by His Majesty the Emperor. It has the jade seal of the Qing Empire on it. This cannot be deceived. " Old man Sakamoto nodded. It is true that he had someone identify the above content. It was indeed the handwriting of the last emperor, and the seal was also good. Otherwise, he would not have met the other party. He bowed slightly: "I'm really sorry. It's really a very important matter. I would like you to tell me the details of what happened." The young man Wen Yan explained: “Last year the empire suddenly collapsed and key members of the clan passed away, resulting in many of our deposits in HSBC Bank in the UK being frozen. Now we need a sum of money to manage our relationship. As long as we can unfreeze the deposit, we are willing to give you a large thank you fee. This is His Majesty the Emperor's oral instruction. With all due respect, if His Majesty had not been imprisoned in the palace by those traitors, such a good thing would not have been your turn. After all, you are Japanese, but now Your Majesty only trusts outsiders. " These words are reasonable and well-founded. Judging from current events, they are quite credible. Moreover, this Jin Sang is obviously a well-educated son of a big family and not a street gangster. This is feasible.
