In less than an hour, Zuo Zhong received the deputy editor's information file and immediately judged that they had found the right person, because not only had this person studied in Japan, but his background was very suspicious.

"Ma Hui, male, Jinling, 38 years old, studied in Japan when he was young, only son, unmarried, both parents have passed away. No childhood photos have been found, so the possibility of being impersonated by a spy cannot be ruled out."

Song Minghao held the file and introduced the other party's situation. It was not easy to find so much information in such a short period of time. It must be concluded that there was indeed something wrong with Ma Hui.

I have been to Japan, I have no brothers, sisters, parents, and no photos. These three points together are the usual substitution routine used by Japanese spies. Of course, the other party may be a simple traitor.

"Continue the side investigation and hurry up."

Zuo Zhong stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back and said: "Focus on checking his network before going abroad, and let these people identify Ma Hui's current photos, and what is the relationship between that woman and the other party."

"A female student who came to Jinling from the south to study in Jinling used to work at Jinling Evening News. After resigning, she bought a house in Jinling. According to neighbors, she often saw Ma Hui secretly visiting the house at night.

Judging from these circumstances, this woman should be Ma Hui's lover. She has no fixed income, but her daily clothes and home decorations are very high-end." Song Minghao said and closed the file folder.

Indeed it is.

Zuo Zhong rubbed his chin. Regardless of whether Ma Hui was a Japanese or a traitor, after Jiang Zhaoqing's early warning, a deputy editor suddenly left Jinling. This matter itself is very suspicious.

He reached out and picked up the surveillance record that had just been sent to him. The person in the surveillance room recorded the conversation between Ma Hui and the woman in writing. The conversation was not very long, and there were only five sentences in total.

"Hey, it's me."

"Are you coming tonight?"

"Stop talking and pack your things."

"Do you really want to leave?"

"Let's go and wait for me to pick you up."

These five sentences were very short, but they revealed a lot of information. First of all, the two people were very familiar with each other and knew each other's identities without saying much. Second, they had already planned and were ready to leave at any time.

Ma Hui asked the other party to pack his things, and the woman asked if he really wanted to leave. This meant that they had discussed it, maybe more than once, otherwise the woman would not have responded so quickly and calmly.

The last sentence of "Wait for me to pick you up" did not mention the time or place, which further showed that the two of them had a tacit understanding. Ma Hui was not married, so there was no need to elope, and there was no need for such a mysterious elopement.

Zuo Zhong tapped the document with his fingers, and after thinking about it, he said to Song Minghao: "You can go to the checkpoint in the south of the city and keep an eye on it, and notify Gui Youguang to take over for you. There is no need to guard the Tianfu residence anymore.

Now that the news of the withdrawal of the Nandou Group has spread, the details of this woman are unknown. If she is a Japanese intelligence agent, the espionage may retreat earlier, so you should be more vigilant."

The core of surveillance and even intelligence operations is control. The appearance of Ma Hui's lover destroyed the intelligence department's control of the entire case. This may cause unexpected situations, and preparations must be made in advance.

Song Minghao knew the seriousness of the matter, and the cheerful expression disappeared from his face. He walked to the phone and asked Gui Youguang to come to the fire brigade, and then led several of his men to the south of the city checkpoint.

In addition to him, Zuo Zhong also notified Wu Jingzhong in the east of the city and Shen Dongxin in the west of the city, asking them to conduct a strict interrogation of the people coming and going as soon as the time was up, and to detain all suspicious persons first.

As for the north of the city, it is enough to have the special agents who go there first to monitor it. The inspections at the central gate and other checkpoints are already relatively strict. The only thing to worry about is the passage to Xuanwu Lake. You have to contact Lao Bai about this.

According to the official regulations of the National Police Agency, patrol boats in Xuanwu Lake should patrol around the clock to carry out tasks such as detecting bandits and rescuing citizens who have fallen into the water. Even if you think about it, this is impossible.

Let these black-skinned men float on the lake all day long, why not kill them? Patrol boats will only go to the lake when receiving special orders, and other times they will sit on the shore and eat ashes.

Zuo Zhong called Bai Wenzhi and settled the matter in a few words. Director Bai, as long as he didn't mention the word local specialty, he was still willing to make Zuo Zhong's friend.

He just asked his men to go around the lake and check the passing boats. It was not a big deal. If the murderer of the assassination was caught, then the Jinling Police Department and himself would have made a meritorious service.

"Haha, thank you, Director Bai. I'll treat you to dinner after the case is over. I heard that you and your wife have been very unhappy recently. Zuo will be a peacemaker and bring your wife with you."

Zuo Zhong smiled and hung up the phone. Wu Chunyang said that Jiang Zhaoqing had a good relationship with Lao Bai's wife. He didn't know if there was something fishy about it, but it wasn't important. There was no need to provide evidence for blackmail.

He was about to send a batch of funds to the Jinling underground party when Lao Bai and his wife suddenly appeared. This was God's will. There is no better gift than local products. God was helping him.

Zuo Zhong sat on a stool in a daze, thinking about how big a box he would bring to see Lao Bai, until half an hour later, Gui Youguang sneaked in and reported some information with bared teeth.

"Section Chief, there was nothing special found at Tianfu's residence. The police station sent three police officers. They took a casual look at the scene and put a seal on the door. No one went to the match factory to ask the old man guarding the door.

After leaving the scene, these three people patrolled the streets. I left a few people to follow them. If there is an emergency, I will inform the department about the situation here and whether other spies were discovered."

"Well, there is information on the table, let's take a look."

Zuo Zhong closed his eyes and rested, letting Gui Youguang read the information and understand the situation by himself. He asked the big bald man to come here for a while to arrest a little spy, and there was no need for him to do it himself.

After a long time, Gui Youguang's gruff voice sounded: "Section Chief, are you arresting the target when he meets his lover? In this case, I will also need maps and information near the target's residence."

Zuo Dian nodded. This is the information necessary for the operation, including the woman's information and past life experiences. Agents have already collected them, and they will be sent here in a short time.

He then stopped talking and listened patiently to the surveillance report on Ma Hui. The other party stayed in the office after making a phone call. He didn't know what he was doing, maybe he was packing his things.

During this period, relevant information about the woman was also sent. She lived in a cement building in the north of the city. The special agent found out the general internal layout by surveying the rooms of the same type.

The roads at the intersections outside the building have also been arranged. As soon as the arrest operation starts, nearby traffic will be temporarily controlled. Ma Hui will not be able to escape as long as he appears in this building.

Just like this, we waited until 11 o'clock at noon, when the lunch special edition began to be printed. This guy made a phone call to the printing workshop to confirm that there were no changes, and then left the newspaper office with his briefcase.

As soon as the Japanese spies moved, the intelligence agents from the periphery moved with them. Seven or eight rickshaws of different types, old and new, and three taxis quietly appeared on the streets. There were also more passengers waiting at the bus stop.

On the top of the fire brigade's training tower, a special agent was lying tightly on the roof, with a direct line phone next to him. While he was observing the target's movements with a telescope, he was using the phone to transmit information in real time.

"Target boarded rickshaw No. 7."

"I saw the code, go north of the city."

"The taxi has caught up, it's over."

Zuo Zhong listened to the report on the phone, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes. It was the north of the city again, and the other party's lover also lived in the north of the city. This was not a coincidence. Ma Hui's escape route should be in the north of the city.

The key to retreat is speed. There is no need for him to waste time in the city, and there is no need to counter-track, because leaving here today means the end of hiding, and the spy's only purpose is to escape.

Sure enough, after getting in the car, Ma Hui reported an address directly, and this address was the address of his lover. The driver pretending to be an agent pulled the car and ran to the target calmly.

"Let's go, get in the car and follow."

Zuo Zhong said to Gui Youguang, and the two of them got into a car and followed the rickshaw at a distance, watching each other's movements closely to prevent the target from getting out of the car and trying to escape with the golden cicada.

As a result, the rickshaw did not stop at any time along the way. Ma Hui behaved very normally and had no physical contact with other people. He just sat down at his lover's residence and paid to get off.

The only thing that was strange was that he did not enter the building directly. Instead, he looked up and then walked in calmly. This action was interesting, as he seemed to be confirming something.

Gui Youguang glanced around, pointed to a window and said, "The curtains are closed. It should be that woman signaling to the target. The other party may know Ma Hui's identity as a Japanese spy."

Zuo Zhong nodded slightly when he heard this. Who in his right mind would let his lover send a signal, and the target didn't have a wife. Ma Hui's lover was so cooperative, there was indeed something wrong with it, and this woman had to be caught.

He rolled up the car window, turned around and said, "Then take action. Be careful that the other party may have weapons. Once caught, he will be sent to the office for interrogation immediately. You and Lao Gu will be responsible for opening the other party's mouth as soon as possible.

The woman above is a good breakthrough point. Even if she doesn’t know Ma Hui’s background, she must know something about him, such as his hobbies and personality beyond the information. Do you understand?”

"Yes, I'll go now."

Gui Youguang opened the car door, called a few armed agents and whispered a few instructions, checked the weapons again, slowly walked around from the back of the building to the front of the building, and walked into the corridor while covering each other.

Zuo Zhong watched this scene from a distance, and after thinking for a while, he moved to the seat next to him. The incident at Renxin Hospital was still in front of him. He didn't have so much nosebleeds to bleed, so it was safer to stay away from the window.

He put his hands in front of his lower abdomen and was thinking about a question in his mind. Judging from Ma Hui's reaction, it was more likely that the other two spies would evacuate from the north of the city. This was what he expected.

Professional spies often think about things from the same perspective. The northern part of the city seems to be full of obstacles and very dangerous, but as long as you leave in time and are well prepared, you can successfully pass the inspection.

Just like Ma Hui, he fled with his lover, not only because of lust, but also for practical reasons. The interrogator's inspection of a man and a woman must be more relaxed than that of an adult male.

To put it bluntly, even if his identity was exposed before he left Jinling, the military and police's attention was still on adult men. In intelligence activities, women are a very suitable cover.

"Boom~"

Suddenly, there was a dull explosion sound, which was the sound of a flash bomb, and then the glass shattered by the shock wave fell down, making the car roof bang.

Zuo Zhong's face did not change, he flicked the dust on his shoulders, raised his head and said to the driver: "Let's go to the central gate, faster. Remember to remind me not to let Gui Youguang get on the bus in the future."
