Cicada Moving

Chapter 469: Clear my name

In the next few days, Meng Ting was like a moving hamster, delivering the items needed for the operation to the warehouse one by one. He also got several broken cars from unknown sources and gave them to Qin Danny and others.

All this happened under Zuo Zhong's nose. Dozens of photos were taken of the conversation between the two parties. This is the ironclad evidence that the intelligence section chief colluded with British spies.

Throw these things out when necessary. Even if Xu Enzeng had a hundred mouths, he still couldn't explain why his men betrayed the Kuomintang again and again, and this time even the British showed up.

 It is moral decay.

 It’s still a distortion of human nature.

Who would have thought that the two people who were rumored to be fighting fiercely would have put on a pair of trousers, and the legendary detective in Shanghai would become a shameful traitor. This can't help but make people feel a little sad.

Zuo Zhong was paying attention to the activities in the official residence and Laohuqiao Prison while preparing the final plan, until one day, a piece of news published in the Jinling Evening News announced the beginning of the contest.

 "The heroes who lived apart from each other were persecuted"

ˆˆ (no typo)

The article details how the Secret Service Headquarters monitored Fan Shusen, deputy director of the Planning Department of the Construction Committee, who was responsible for the death of the hero. It is interspersed with various conspiracies and conjectures, which makes people's hair stand on end.

As soon as this incident came out, there was a lot of discussion. Everyone speculated that the sworn master wanted to completely eradicate Zhang Renjie's influence in the party, military and government organs, so he investigated the former secretary and forced him to submit.

After Zhang Renjie, who was far away in Shanghai, learned of the incident, he sent a public telegram to Jinling. In the telegram, he burst into tears, detailing his deep friendship with the bald head in the past, happily admitting defeat and begging for mercy.

The other party expressed his willingness to resign from all positions in the National Government. He only asked the chairman of the committee for his support and brotherly kindness not to kill him, but to let him return to his hometown to live out his old age.

Baldhead was overjoyed at first when he received the telegram, and then became furious. Although he really wanted to clear out Zhang Renjie's people in the economic and industrial departments, how was he going to do it when the situation was like this?

How will people within the party view this? This is simply a way of nailing oneself to the pillar of shame. The person who did this has a deplorable conscience and must be investigated clearly to restore his innocence for all eternity.

The bald man, who was both responsible and upright, immediately called Director Chen to ask about the reason. When he heard that the underground party traitor confessed that Fan Shusen's official residence was the underground party Jinling City Wei, he almost became angry to death.

Even before he said the words of completely annihilating the Southwest, people had already infiltrated into Jinling City and into the government. It was like a big slap on his face.

"I don't care. You asked Xu Enzeng to kill all the underground Jinling Municipal Committee members before announcing this matter to the outside world. The evidence must be sufficient and people with ulterior motives must not succeed."

The bald man roared and sprayed angry spit into Director Chen's face. He didn't even give Darling the face to persuade him, and issued a death order, telling the secret service headquarters to solve the case as quickly as possible.

Director Chen bent over and nodded vigorously, holding a handkerchief in his hand to wipe the cold sweat and saliva from his head. He hated his little brother in his heart. How could he get into such a big trouble just by investigating the case.

It’s really necessary to compare things. The Secret Service has never done anything like this in solving a case. He just sits in the office and waits to receive the credit. Every time, it’s Xu Enzeng, the incompetent loser.

I have repeatedly emphasized that the investigation should be conducted secretly. Is it really so secret? The newspaper clearly states what is being done. If there is time and place, it is time to conduct an exclusive interview with the person involved.

He waited for the bald man to finish venting his anger and promised in a low voice: "The official residence is already under close surveillance by the secret service headquarters, and the underground party cannot escape. I will call now to convey the leader's order."

“Go, don’t say that you can’t escape even if you have wings. I have heard this saying a thousand times on the front line, but in the end, Southwest is still there, jumping out of our encirclement again and again.

If no one is arrested this time, Xu Enzeng will not come back, and you, as well, will no longer hold the post of director of the Bureau of Statistics and Investigation. Go back to your hometown to study. The director will be left to Dai Chunfeng. "

The bald man sat there with a cold face, and said these words expressionlessly. His dark eyes were frightening, and could make someone who prides himself on being generous directly drive people away. The seriousness of this matter is self-evident.

 “Yes, yes, I understand.”

Director Chen nodded repeatedly and strode out, deciding in his heart that if Xu Enzeng slipped up again this time, he would kill this **** with one shot, not to mention his cousin or his own son.

 Once he loses his position as director of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, it means that he and Minister Chen have lost their most important violent machine. Without the backing of armed forces, who will give the Chen family face?

At this time, the secret service headquarters was already in a mess. Xu Enzeng slapped the overburdened desk hard, roared with red eyes, and became furious with his section chiefs and unit chiefs.

“Why was the intelligence leaked, and how did Jinling Evening News know about it? There must be an insider. This insider is not outside, but in this office, among you officers.

I thought that without Wang Aofu and Liu Gui, our office would be at peace, but now it seems far from it. Without finding this person, our office will never be able to fight the Secret Service or defeat the underground party. "

He put his hands on the table and looked at the people present fiercely. He recalled over and over again in his mind how many people knew this information and who was suspicious. He vowed not to give up until he found this person.

Although the investigation into Fan Shusen was a cover for a trap and was not too confidential, the information published in the newspaper was so detailed that only people in the area could grasp it, and it was definitely not the work of an outsider. Xu Enzeng’s first thought was Meng Ting, Chief of the Intelligence Section. This person had just arrived at the secret service headquarters from Shanghai not long ago. He had previously stayed in the concession and abroad. There was no guarantee that he was not an intelligence officer sent by the underground party.

So in this case, he kept a secret and did not tell the other party about the layout around Tiger Bridge. If the case was successfully solved, Meng Ting would have no problem. Otherwise, he would be eliminated directly.

 Could it be that this was the person? He suddenly looked up at the crowd and focused his gaze on the other person. This startled the heads of the group and they quietly moved to the side.

Meng Ting was hiding behind, watching the farce with gloating, but he never expected that the fire would hit him. His face suddenly turned pale, and he stood there motionless.

“Chief Meng, would you like to explain why the top secret information of your intelligence department was leaked to the newspaper? If you can’t give me a reasonable explanation, let’s talk in another place.

 Don't blame me for being ruthless then. You also know how powerful the tools in the interrogation room are. It's useless to be tough. As long as you can repent in time, you can still be the intelligence section chief. "

Over there, Xu Enzeng slapped his gun on the table and asked in a sinister voice. At the same time, several agents with submachine guns appeared at the door, looking fiercely on guard, ready to rush in and arrest people at any time.

Meng Ting knew that he had to speak, otherwise the person named Xu would definitely turn his back on the person and even hand himself over as a scapegoat. He had heard this kind of thing countless times since he came here.

He explained with a sad face: "Director, since the case started, I have been leading people to handle external investigations. If you want to leak information, why not leak it when you are in the field? This can reduce suspicion.

 Besides, there are many people who know about this matter. It is possible that some people could not stand Meng being the section chief. After I returned to Jinling, he leaked the matter to the newspaper in order to achieve his ulterior motives.

 Director, you must investigate clearly. You personally transferred me to the secret service headquarters. Everyone knows that I am yours. The other party is deliberately trying to frame me, and in the end it is you who will be targeted. "

Meng Ting cried loudly as he spoke. The sound was as sad as a cuckoo crying for blood. The people on the side couldn't help but feel sympathy in their hearts, but it was absolutely impossible for them to come out and say something fair.

The current situation is obvious. Someone must bear the blame, either Meng or himself. How many good people can stand in this place, sacrificing themselves for others? Nonsense.

His?

Xu Enzeng took a breath after hearing this. His mind that was overwhelmed by anger gradually calmed down. Although what Meng Ting said was a bit far-fetched, it still made some sense.

If the other party is really an underground party, the people in the official residence will have disappeared long ago, and people will not be sent out to purchase supplies all the time. From this point of view, the suspicion of this person will be reduced by more than half.

As for whether the material procurement personnel were deliberately left by the underground party to confuse them in order to cover Meng Ting who leaked information, as an old rival for many years, he felt it was unlikely for two reasons.

 One, the underground party will not arrange personnel to perform tasks knowing that they will die. If it were so unwise, all the underground parties would have died after the 16th year of the Republic of China. These people are now more cunning than foxes.

Second, the underground party knows his style. As long as they doubt Meng Ting, they will keep one person or two people. It will not improve Meng Ting's situation in any way. This is a tacit understanding between the opponents.

Rather than leaking intelligence in a safer place, the suspicion on Meng Ting was reduced by half. Combining these two aspects, it is unlikely that the other party leaked the intelligence.

Xu Enzeng thought for a while and put the gun back in the drawer. He wondered if someone was really going to target him and framed Meng Ting. Who could the other person be? Internal or external.

Internally, there are only a few people who are qualified to hold the position of director, such as Pu Mengjiu, the secretary of the book planning office. When investigating the arms smuggling case of Song Minghao from the second division, this guy stabbed himself.

If it's from the outside, it's 100% that Dai Chunfeng's bastard. But the question is, did the other party risk colluding with the underground party to leak the information just to embarrass Yiyi? It's unlikely.

"Jingle Bell!"

At this time, the phone on the table rang. The sudden ringing made everyone tremble. The call coming at this time was definitely not good news. Xu Enzeng gritted his teeth and picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

“Xu Enzeng, I am calling you from the chairman’s official residence. Immediately arrest the underground party in the official residence. There is no room for error. If the operation fails, not only you, but also I will return to my hometown.”

Director Chen's anger could be heard through the phone. He hung up the phone immediately after giving the order. This master's degree from the University of Pittsburgh was really anxious and didn't care about the so-called demeanor.

Xu Enzeng's head was buzzing from the loud sound of the phone. He seemed to understand Dai Chunfeng's intention to trick him. The other party was eyeing the director's throne. He raised his head and roared.

 “Act! Act now!”

In other words, everything has a profound meaning.
