Chapter 824 If you can speak, speak more

"Shopkeeper Wang, right? The police station file says there are seven clerks in the store, but according to the account books, you made a total of less than 100 French currency this month.

This little money is probably not even enough for labor expenses, and this situation has lasted for a long time, so what do you do for a living?

You should know what the Secret Service does. I advise you to tell the truth and don't take any chances, otherwise we will have to change the place to talk."

Gui Youguang looked down at the file, whispered a few words, then raised his head and stared at the bewildered shopkeeper of the milk cake shop.

Zuo Zhong looked around and found that this was a store with a front store and a back store. The business area was nearly 60 square meters. The unit price of the products on the counter was not low. It was really strange that he only made 100 yuan a month.

Now that the government is moving westward, the accompanying officials, rich men, and ladies in Jiangcheng have stimulated consumption in Jiangcheng. Moreover, this is the most prosperous neighborhood in Hankou, and business should be better.

With such bleak operating data, the other party is either making false accounts, not operating the business carefully, or has other income support. No matter which point it is, there is something fishy about it.

The shopkeeper of the milk cake shop also realized this. From time to time, he wiped the cold sweat on his head with his sleeves, his eyes wandered and he hesitated.

"This...this..."

Seeing the other party's reaction, the agents moved slowly and stood in front of the door and window, quietly removing the gun safety in their hands, ready to exchange fire at any time.

The several waiters behind the shopkeeper huddled together shivering, too frightened to even breathe, and turned their faces to avoid the spy's gaze.

"Stop talking nonsense and speak quickly!"

Gui Youguang closed the document and shouted angrily, his expression very serious.

As these words were spoken, the circle of encirclement in the house further narrowed, and any staff in the milk cake shop who made any abnormal movements would be beaten into sieves in the shortest possible time.

Faced with the questioning, the shopkeeper's legs gave way and he knelt on the ground unbearably. However, this ruled out the suspicion of being a spy.

——Regardless of the professional skills and responsibilities of Japanese spies, their national characteristics lead to their psychological quality being much better than that of intelligence personnel from other countries.

People like this who collapsed before entering the interrogation room are most likely not Japanese spies, at least not Japanese. They may be traitors or spies of the warlords.

Zuo Zhong stepped up to this person and said condescendingly and coldly: "Your accent has a hint of Guizhou accent. If I'm not mistaken, you must be from Chief Li and Chief Bai."

The shopkeeper of the milk cake shop changed his expression when he heard this. He had heard about the name of the Secret Service for a long time, but he didn't expect that he was even more powerful than he thought. He could guess so many things based on only an account book and his accent.

Recalling the brutal methods used by the Secret Service to deal with Japanese spies in the intelligence, he swallowed and prepared to report his identity. At present, the fight against Japan was the overall situation, and I believe that the Secret Service would not kill him.

But before he could admit it, Zuo Zhong, who had been pondering for a moment, suddenly turned his head and waved to his subordinates: "Close the team and go to the next house."

Then he leaned over and warned the shopkeeper: "Normal intelligence collection is okay; bribery and instigation of rebellion are not okay; someone will be watching you, do you understand?"

"Ming... understand."

The shopkeeper was stunned and nodded subconsciously. His mind went blank. He didn't know why these murderous agents let him and others go.

To be fair, if Jinling spies were discovered in the Gui Clan territory, they would definitely kill them quickly and never let them go easily. What exactly does the Secret Service mean?

Looking at the man in black walking out the door, the shopkeeper decided to report to his superiors as soon as possible. There might be reasons that he didn't know about, and it might even be related to the relationship between the local government and the central government.

Outside the milk cake shop, Wu Chunyang asked the same question, that is, why should the Guangxi intelligence personnel be let go? Although they are not spies, flies are still meat even though they are small. There is no reason to spit out the fat in the mouth.

"Chun Yang, there is light."

Zuo Zhong paced and said slowly: "I have always told you that in our line of work we not only have to keep our heads down and look at the road, not only we have to settle intelligence accounts, but we also have to settle political accounts.

Chief Li recently served as the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth War Zone, and he has a heavy responsibility. The person who arrested him at this time is, to put it mildly, ignorant, and to put it seriously, he is trying to sow discord between the local government and the central government.

Once something goes wrong, not to mention that you and I can't afford it, even the bureau chief can't explain it to the committee chairman. Anyway, the other party has been exposed and the harm has been minimized, so just let it go."

But I want to apologize. I said that it would be up to you to decide what to do, but I broke my promise. Haha, you two must not blame me for breaking my promise. I am really too allergic to this matter."

Zuo Zhong made a little joke, glancing at the bald head that was making a sound, and a trace of doubt arose in his eyes, something was wrong with Gui Youguang today.

Usually this guy talks with his fists and rarely uses his brain. This time he unexpectedly opened a breakthrough through the account book, which is a bit unlike his style.

Just as he was thinking about it, Wu Chunyang bent down slightly and flattered him skillfully: "If you hadn't reminded us, Youguang and I would have made a big mistake. We couldn't thank you enough, so how could we dare to complain."

Listen, this is what people are talking about. How can it be wrong for a superior to overstep his authority? What was wrong was that they did not grasp the political issues involved.

Zuo Zhong was very satisfied with this extremely clichéd flattery. If he really wanted to say something good, he would say more, but Zuo still wanted to save face, so he changed the subject and asked Gui Youguang.

"Youguang, how did you discover that there was something wrong with that milk cake shop?"

"ah?"

Gui Youguang was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand and patted his head: "Even if you don't ask me, I have forgotten that it was a police officer from the Jiangcheng Police Department who reminded me that the business conditions of this store were not quite right.

He is usually in charge of this area and is very familiar with the surrounding shops. Would you like to call him over to show you? I think this guy is interesting and I originally wanted to send someone to follow him."

"Oh? Call me over and have a look."

Zuo Zhong squinted his eyes and smiled, as if he was very interested in this police officer who could alert intelligence personnel.

"okay."

Gui Youguang waved and called a small agent to whisper a few words in a low voice. The agent responded and ordered him to run away quickly.

Next to him, Wu Chunyang frowned. According to Gui Youguang, the other party was responsible for patrolling the streets, and the store would definitely provide some benefits. So why did the other party want to report the benefactor?

Everyone knows that the Secret Service is very ruthless, and it takes a lot of hatred to do this. It can't be that the shop owner of the milk cake shop and the police officer have a grudge against killing their father, or a grudge against taking away his wife.

Moreover, selling the system to agencies outside the system is strictly prohibited in any department and is an unspoken rule that cannot be exceeded.

Otherwise, if you sell once and he sells once, how will everyone's work be carried out? Therefore, the police officer's behavior is not only strange, but also logically unreasonable.

After a while, the little spy came with a police officer in black uniform. When he saw the serious-looking senior officer of the Secret Service, the other man stamped his foot vigorously, stood at attention, saluted and shouted loudly.

"Yao Li of the Third Branch of Hankou Police Station has met with all the officers."

Zuo Zhong raised his eyelids and looked at the person. He was about 1.7 meters tall, which was not considered short in this era. His skin was a bit dark due to patrolling the streets, but his face was rosy and his arms were full of muscles.

This shows that the other party's nutritional intake is good and there is no lack of protein in the food. This is unimaginable for ordinary people in the Republic of China, but it is normal for a police officer working in the downtown area of ​​Hankou.

The name of Oriental Chicago is not fake. This guy named Yao Li can collect some benefits, which is enough for his family to live a prosperous life.

Look at this person standing and saluting, and his movements are obviously military-style. Taken together, it seems that this person probably retired from the army and later worked in the police station.

After a cursory observation of Yao Li, Zuo Chongen asked lightly: "Is the milk cake shop you found suspicious? Yes, he is quite clever.

I dare not say anything else about whether you are willing to work in the Secret Service. I guarantee you will be promoted to captain in three years. How about you? Think about it.

You don’t have to worry about your family, we have a separate family area, brothers are there to protect you all day long, and your children can go to the best schools.”

Hearing this, Gui Youguang and Wu Chunyang looked at each other. This was the first time the deputy director invited an outsider to join the Secret Service after Dr. Ling Sanping.

Dr. Ling's medical skills have been proven and he has trained many doctors. Everyone in the hospital is willing to go to the internal hospital for treatment when they are sick. It is cheaper and safer than outside.

Does this Yao Li have any special abilities, otherwise he would not receive such preferential treatment from the deputy director? The two of them kept looking at each other.

Seeing this, Yao Li quickly retracted his head and laughed dryly: "Thanks to the wrong love of the superior, I have a wife and children at home, and I just want to live a peaceful life, so..."

got rejected!

Some people dared to refuse their solicitation.

Gui Youguang glared and prepared to "persuade" the other party not to be disrespectful. In the eyes of the Secret Service, the Hankou Police Department was nothing. As long as he said a word, he would have to go home and take care of his child.

"Hey, there is light, and the melons that are twisted are not sweet."

Zuo Zhong stopped the bald man, looked at Yao Li and said in a gentle tone, "Okay, since you don't want to, forget it, go back to work, and I will ask your boss for credit."

"Thank you, sir."

Yao Li was overjoyed, bowed to the three of them, turned around and ran away, as if he was afraid of being forced to stay, which made Wu Chunyang dumbfounded.

I don’t know how many people in the police system want to join the Secret Service, but this guy avoids snakes and scorpions. It’s really hard to understand.

Thinking of the analysis just now, he hesitated for a moment and asked Zuo Zhong for instructions to conduct a comprehensive background check on Yao Li to confirm whether the other party was reliable.

Zuo Zhong laughed after hearing this and talked about an unrelated matter: "According to intelligence analysis, after the Japanese occupy Jinling, it is very likely to launch an attack on Xucheng in the near future.

The purpose is to open up the Jinpu Railway (Jimen-Jinlingpukou), connect the northern and southern battlefields, expand resource acquisition areas, and advance the front from east to west.

Among them, Commander Li’s Fifth War Zone bore the brunt. The little devil is afraid of the commission. The relationship between the commander and the Gui clique is so good that he even sent his guns to us."

"You mean?"

There is no fool in this business. Wu Chunyang reacted immediately and asked before Gui Youguang.

"Well, as you thought, the other party should be related to the Japanese."

Zuo Dian nodded and issued the order: "Send the most elite operatives to monitor and monitor Yao Li 24 hours a day, and investigate his past.

From the conversation just now, we can know that he has relatives in Hankou, so it is unlikely that the target is Japanese. He is probably another traitor.

Use the fastest speed to find out the handlers and spies behind him. This is the first battle for our secret service in Jiangcheng. We must not only win, but also win beautifully and show our capabilities to the superiors."

After finishing speaking, Zuo Zhong looked across Hualou Street and towards the Hanjiangguan Building in the distance. Suddenly, the mobile phone in his pocket vibrated silently.
