Chapter 548 Look at that head, it’s big and round
“I’m polishing my shoes~”
At the entrance of the Elizabeth Hospital, a teenage boy stood on a beech box and shouted loudly. When meeting young men and women passing by, he would inevitably say auspicious words, "shoes are shining, and the date will go well."
(Easter egg, if it’s not there, it’s under review)
This witticism made people laugh. Some people stopped to take care of business because they wanted to get good luck. So the customers came and went, making the shoe shiners around them jealous.
“Shine your shoes.”
I don’t know when Zuo Zhong arrived at the shoe shine stall. He put his feet on the iron shoe soles of the shoe shine box, took out the newspaper from his pocket and read it, just like other shoe shine customers.
“Okay, sir.”
The young man took out a snow-white towel and quickly wiped off the dust on the leather shoes. He also took out a pig-hair brush and carefully removed the dirt on the uppers of the shoes, while whispering in a low voice.
“Two men came at 9:03 in the morning. They looked like thieves carrying bags. One was looking out at the front door, and the other went in for less than half an hour, and then left together, having already taken photos.
At 11:30 noon, a middle-aged woman walked into the hospital empty-handed and came out ten minutes later with her child in her arms. She might be a human trafficker. Chief Wu’s people followed him and found a place to stay. "
The little shoe shiner was naturally Tong Suo. This guy's two dark eyes scanned the surroundings, looking for suspicious people in the crowd. While polishing his leather shoes diligently, he asked for instructions.
“I want to ask you, Deputy Director, if you can arrest those bad guys after the operation here is over. As government workers, we definitely cannot stand idly by when this happens.”
“Okay, I’ll leave it to you.”
Zuo Zhong picked up the newspaper, flipped through it, and said casually: "Continue to monitor, don't reveal your identity, and go live with the arranged ground dragon at night. The environment in that place is very bad, can you get used to it?"
The rolling dragon in his mouth is a shack made of several pieces of bamboo bent into a bow shape and inserted into the ground as a house frame, and covered with reed mats to ride on. This kind of shack has no windows, and a straw curtain is hung as a door.
The interior height is only as high as an adult’s chest. There is no place to sit except for sleeping. People can only crawl inside. On cloudy and rainy days, the house is muddy. It is neither windproof nor warm.
“It’s okay. Before I came with you, I lived with my elder brother at the Ground Dragon in Tanziwan. I also met a few old friends in the past two days. We went out to play together yesterday. I won’t be suspicious if someone is following me.”
Tongsuo grinned with a flattering expression. Others thought he was just chatting with customers. Who would have thought that he was exchanging information. After special training and actual combat, the little pickpocket of the past has long been reborn.
Zuo Zhong nodded casually, dropped a banknote after his shoes were polished, took the newspaper and walked into the street. After walking around a few times, he came to a Shikumen house and knocked on the door.
“唔唔.”
Soon Gui Youguang opened the door and welcomed him in. He said furtively, "Deputy Director, Xu Enzeng brought Shi Zhenmei and Luoma here. It sounds like they are going to send someone to join the operation. What should we do?"
What to do, of course, refuse.
Zuo Zhong frowned. Lao Xu really didn't know anything. He had a few useful men, including Luoma, but this guy's appearance rate was so high that many underground party members knew him.
Placing these people around the hospital is clearly telling everyone that the secret service headquarters has a mission here, and they have to perform a full set of performances. This may not even be able to hide it from the concession patrol room.
“Where is the person named Xu?”
"upstairs."
Zuo Zhong asked coldly, and Gui Youguang winked at the second floor. The two walked into the living room and climbed up the stairs. They saw Xu Enzeng standing there with his hands on his hips again, gesticulating and saying something.
"I'm not talking about your secret service. How can you send two people to monitor, and one is a half-year-old child? What if the insider underground party finds out? You have to perform a full set of acting."
His rhetoric was exactly what Zuo Zhong thought, but how could this loser who had repeatedly failed have the courage to say this? He was not afraid of the wind blowing his tongue, and he had to interfere with the planned things.
“Director Xu, what are you doing here if you don’t just stand around in Shanghai? Just arrange things at the secret service headquarters. There’s no need to worry about anything else. My people never make mistakes.”
Zuo Zhong walked over, his words were very rude, and the expression on his face was gloomy. Everyone present looked at him intently and stood up straight, as if they didn't hear what he just said.
Xu Enzeng blushed when he heard this. When it comes to breaking the chain, the first station is indeed more often than the second station. It's just that in such a large-scale "capture" operation, the secret service headquarters must be involved.
The person surnamed Zuo made a nice promise, saying that the two offices acted together. However, when the evidence was collected by the two offices and the person was arrested, it was the two offices who should get the credit. It was necessary to be on guard.
He chuckled, a bright light flashed in his eyes and said: "Commissioner, don't mind, we are here just to help. The Shanghai Station has been dealing with the underground party for many years and has rich experience.
Simple reconnaissance tasks like this can be left to Luoma's action team. Why bother the brothers from the Secret Service? If anything goes wrong during the operation, I, the division chief, will be responsible. “We will discuss this later. "
Zuo Zhong waved his hand to tell everyone present to leave, with a serious expression: "Director Xu, are you sure your internal cells are all in single-line contact and don't know each other's identities? You can't go wrong on this point."
Xu Enzeng confidently slapped his chest and assured: "Of course, this is a basic requirement for intelligence operations. Only I, Shi Zhenmei and Luo Ma know the specific list, and the insiders do not know."
Seeing the old spy's vow, Zuo Chong thought in his mind that even if his words were half true, his plan could be completed, so he should start early, as it wouldn't be a problem if he kept procrastinating.
He picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip of water. He crossed his arms and said, "I know your concerns. I will give you a copy of all the evidence, and the final arrest will involve people from the same place.
Except for reconnaissance, all operations are open to you. The White Blood Cell Project failed. This is our only chance to turn around. All details must be perfect without any omissions.
You and I will sign and submit the dossier together, so that no one can get rid of the other. Lao Xu, we must unite. Since I promise you, I will not burn bridges across rivers. You think too much. "
Xu Enzeng was exposed and coughed twice in embarrassment. What the other party said made him judge a gentleman with a villain's heart. No, the person with the surname Zuo is not a gentleman.
If the other party is a sincere and kind gentleman, then he himself is a Bodhisattva who saves the suffering. It is best to talk like this. Everyone gets what they need and owes nothing to each other. If we turn around, we will have to fight again.
Zuo Zhong saw his thoughts and nodded slightly: "It's good that Director Xu understands. There is no movement at Elizabeth Hospital now. It's time to activate those internal cells with duties.
Don't worry, I haven't inquired about who you are inciting to rebel against, but Captain Luo said that one unit has controlled certain grassroots organizations of the underground party, which should not be possible without senior leaders.
Our first step is to spread the news about Gong Zizai, the second step is to ask senior insiders to ask their superiors for instructions and request a cleanup operation, and the third step is to let the other party take the initiative to ask for a fight and take people to the hospital. "
“Let Xu guess.”
Xu Enzeng interrupted him, pretended to walk twice in the room, and turned his head suddenly: "The third step is to tell these people that we will cooperate with them to make great achievements.
By the way, all low-level insider cells are required to find a way to participate in the operation. Haha, in the fourth step, no matter who comes, we will catch them all, so that we will have an explanation to the superiors.
Special Commissioner Zuo, high, really high. I started preparations immediately when I got back. Raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a short time. These people have received so much salary from the secret service headquarters, and now it’s time to pay off. "
As he spoke, he raised his thumb and said something viciously, with an extremely ferocious expression. When a person bets his future, wealth and life on one thing, he can risk anything.
Zuo Zhong stared at Xu Enzeng with a half-smile but not a smile. Everyone was an old acquaintance. Zhuge Liang, who was pretending to have no plans here, immediately turned his eyes and looked at Shi Zhenmei outside the door.
Huh?
This person’s head is big and round.
Like a victim.
He pondered for a moment and then said: "To be on the safe side, please ask Director Xu to give Zuo a reading of the information on the internal cell. It would be best if Station Commander Shi and Captain Luo introduce it to ensure the accuracy of the information.
As for confidentiality, I guarantee that no one will know the specific list except me. Since the establishment of the Secret Service, although there have been a few cheating thieves, no secrets have been leaked. "
“Haha, I believe in the special commissioner.”
Xu Enzeng clapped his hands, called Shi Zhenmei and Luo Ma to his side and whispered a few words. The two men carefully took out a small notebook from their respective pockets, placing it very gently.
Just looking at the fold marks on the spine, we can tell that the book has been used for a long time and cannot be found temporarily. Based on this analysis, it is unlikely that the person named Xu used wrong information to conduct screening.
Zuo Zhong chuckled, it doesn't matter even if it's a trap. There is a seller from the Intelligence Alliance here. Should he believe in himself or an intelligence dealer? The answer is obvious.
"Commissioner Zuo, the list of insider cells is divided into two volumes. Webmaster Shi's one saves the other party's photos and household registration information, and Captain Luo's one saves the other party's position information in the underground party."
Xu Enzeng patted the notebook over there, with a hint of pride in his tone: "Only the two of them can piece together the complete information by taking out the information together. This confidentiality method is foolproof."
Zuo Zhong pressed the recording button in his pocket, raised his hands and said seriously: "Director Xu's plan is very clever. Zuo is willing to lose. Let's hurry up and start, starting from the first insider cell."
"Can."
Xu Enzeng is like drinking ice water in summer, just two words - happy.
