The Spy

Chapter 190 Interlocking
"Changhai, come with me to the study."

When they got home, Tong Changming shouted coldly, and Tong Changhai followed him in obediently.

At this time he was a little scared. He had only thought about money before and believed that what Fang Laibao said was right. It was giving them and their brothers a chance to make a fortune together.

But seeing his elder brother's expression, he finally realized that something was wrong.

"Snapped."

As soon as he entered the study, Tong Changming suddenly slapped Tong Changhai in the face, knocking him dizzy.

One slap was not enough, Tong Changming slapped him again.

"Brother, why did you hit me?"

Tong Changhai was stunned. After a while, he said blankly, but Tong Changming's face was full of pain. His brother didn't even know why he hit him?
"Beating you is a light punishment. Do you know that what you did will kill our whole family?"

Tong Changming shouted angrily that with what he was doing now, he would surely die unless he agreed to the Military Intelligence Department.

My brother has lost his value and is a discarded pawn to the Military Intelligence Department. He has leaked top-secret information and his own director will not forgive him.

You will also be in trouble.

As long as he doesn't agree, he will be dead.

"How is that possible? Fang Laibao told me that the matter is very simple and there will be no problem. He just bought something we know."

Tong Changming almost fainted after hearing his explanation. This idiot still trusts others so much and doesn’t even know that he has been sold out.

"Do you know who he is? He's a spy, a spy from the Intelligence Department. He kills without blinking an eye. Will he be okay?"

"You actually said that nothing would happen. Just based on what you said, it's a capital crime. If I protect myself, you'll be finished soon."

Tong Changming shouted that he would be killed by his own brother this time. If he did not agree to the Military Intelligence Department, he would not be the only one to die. Xu Zhanjie said that three people in their family had been bribed.

These three people were threatening him.

I agreed, and it's okay now, but something bad may happen in the future.

The Military Intelligence Department had just executed a deputy section chief. He now understood that the Military Intelligence Department was deliberately using his own treatment to retaliate against him.

The deputy section chief of the Military Intelligence Department was the one whose sister was controlled and dragged into this by Tan Xianglin.

Luan Ziping's existence was previously a secret, but after he was discovered and executed, the secret was leaked.

He is a senior member of the Party Affairs Investigation Department and knows about this matter.

"Brother, are you telling the truth? Is he lying to me?"

Tong Changhai became even more frightened and asked tremblingly. Tong Changming looked at him and his heart suddenly ached.

"Brother, I will return the money to them. I don't want it anymore."

What his brother said was so serious, Tong Changhai no longer had the heart to ask for money. Although he was reluctant to spend so much money, fortunately he did not spend it recklessly and was able to return it.

"Refund, even if you refund double or ten times now, no one will want it."

Tong Changming was helpless. His brother was uneducated and didn't know anything. He thought everything would be fine as long as he returned the money.

It would be better if the money is not refunded. If it is refunded, everything will be ruined.

"Go out, I'll think about it."

Tong Changming sat down on the chair. He was greedy for money, but he knew that there were some money that he could not take.

Unfortunately, there is no way out now. I am at the mercy of others.

It would be useless even if they let their younger brothers and sisters run away. Besides, where can they run to? They are uneducated and may be found by the military intelligence department in the country. If they go abroad, they are unfamiliar with the place and it will be difficult for them to find a way out.

Besides, he had no confidence at all now that he could send his younger brothers and sisters away.

Since the Military Intelligence Department has spoken frankly to him, they will definitely be on guard.

If he agreed, Luan Ziping would be a lesson for him. The Military Intelligence Department was so despicable. Why were they targeting him?
After thinking it over, Tong Changming's mind was in a mess and he still couldn't make up his mind.

Military Intelligence Department, after Xu Zhanjie returned, he called Xu Qingyun into the office alone.

"Qingyun, Tong Changming said that they arrested people in Chu County."

"Chu County?"

Xu Qingyun was slightly stunned. The place names at that time were slightly different from those in later generations. Chu County was actually Chuzhou. It was a prefecture before and a county now.

Chu County is not far from Quanjiao, and later generations became one city.

"What's wrong?" Xu Zhanjie asked when he saw that he looked strange.

"Coincidentally, we found a suspect in the Transportation Bureau. He has Japanese yen in his hands. Yan Ming and his team have already gone to investigate in detail. His hometown is in Quanjiao, just south of Chu County, not far away."

Xu Zhanjie was slightly startled, then laughed: "Okay, God helps me, just take this opportunity, you guys go to Quanjiao to handle the case immediately."

Quanjiao and Chuxian are not far from each other, which gave them enough reasons, and this is a real suspect.

If his identity as a traitor is confirmed, no one will be able to say anything, including Old Ghost Xu. I'm afraid they will all believe that they really found out about the Red Party.

"Yes."

Their case was good in Quanjiao, but Quanjiao was very close to Chuxian. As for the reason why they found clues about the Red Party, it was very simple.

When something happened, the Red Party members in Chu County fled to Quanjiao to take temporary shelter.

This is a very normal thing. When someone around you is arrested or goes missing, hiding immediately is the most basic reaction.

Xu Qingyun returned to the office and immediately called Yan Ming.

Xu Qingyun will only feel at ease if Yan Ming does this personally.

Yanming is smart and can get things done.

It just so happens that this case involves Dai Jieying, and now that important clues have been found, it makes perfect sense for Yan Ming to go to the suspect's hometown to investigate.

"Get ready immediately and go to Quanjiao to check the financial situation of Yuan Wanchun's family."

"Going to Quanjiao, me?"

Yan Ming was slightly stunned. It was normal to check Yuan Wanchun's home. If the team leader had not instructed not to send anyone out for the time being, he would have sent someone to Quanjiao to investigate yesterday.

"That's right, you have to go. I have a mission for you..."

Xu Qingyun finally told him the truth about the mission, but did not go into too much detail. First of all, he did not mention that the Party Affairs Investigation Office was arresting the Red Party members.

This is a secret, Xu Qingyun will not leak it casually, even to Yan Ming.

"I understand. Don't worry, team leader. Just leave it to me." After hearing the task, Yan Ming responded immediately.

"Don't tell anyone else about this, and make sure it's done well."

Xu Qingyun reminded him again that he believed that even if he didn't explain the reason, Yan Ming would not slack off and would do a good job.

"Don't worry, Team Leader. I will make it look completely real, so that no one can tell anything is wrong."

"Okay, let's go."

Yan Ming left quickly, returned to the office, and immediately began to think about this mission.

They created the scene where they found the Red Party and discovered that the Red Party was very anxious, exposing the fact that an important person of theirs was missing.

The hardest part here is not getting caught.

There is no Red Party at all, and no matter whether the people caught are dead or alive, there will be no explanation when the time comes.

Xu Qingyun also didn't want to kill innocent people.

If they replace them with damned evil people, no one will believe that they are the Red Party.

Not afraid of difficulties, Xu Qingyun has confidence in Yan Ming. This kind of thing is not easy for others, but it is not difficult for Yan Ming.

Unknowingly, Yan Ming had become his most important right-hand man. In terms of role alone, he was even stronger than Fang Laibao.

Yan Ming hurried home, took some clean clothes, and led people to Chu County.

He understood what the team leader meant. This time, he brought people with strong action ability. He would do a good job and make everyone believe that they found the clues of the Red Party themselves and could not find any flaws. After Yan Ming left, Xu Qingyun closed his eyes and thought.

He had completed the first step, temporarily saving the lives of his comrades, but he was not out of danger.

Later in life, Xu Qingyun was a party member. To him, all party members were his comrades, regardless of the period.

There is no need to rush to rescue him. The comrade is recovering from his injuries right now. Even if we rescue him now, we also need to find a place to help him recover.

After Tong Changming was completely turned against the enemy, he could learn about the situation of his comrades at any time.

Xu Qingyun would not be stupid enough to ask directly. After Yan Ming had the results, Xu Zhanjie would definitely ask about the recent performance of the Party Affairs Investigation Office, and then he would know the detailed situation of the comrade.

It's not difficult to find out about his situation through indirect inquiries.

For example, by asking Xu Laogui about the results of the interrogation and whether there was any torture or inducement, one can infer his physical condition, attitude and so on.

A truly excellent intelligence agent will never actively ask for the answers he wants.

By reasoning through related questions, you can get the desired results.

At this time, Tong Changming still couldn't make up his mind.

Unfortunately, the Military Intelligence Department only gave him three days.

The next afternoon, Tong Changming suddenly received a note asking him to go to a house.

After hesitating for half an hour, Tong Changming arrived at the place alone.

When you give him the note, bring the key with you.

He opened the door himself and walked in. It was very clean inside and there was not much stuff, but there was a tape recorder and a piece of paper on the table.

There were words written on the note: If you agree, write a letter of allegiance here; if you disagree, just leave.

The tape recorder was very large, a bit like the movie player of later generations. The tapes of this period were also not small, and were nothing like the small and exquisite ones of later generations. There was no recorder that could be hidden at any time.

Tong Changming knew how to use it, so he walked over and turned the play button.

Immediately his eyes narrowed.

The sound of him and Xu Zhanjie chatting could be heard from inside, especially the last sentence, in which he told Xu Zhanjie that he was a Red Party member captured in Chu County.

At this moment, he finally understood why Xu Zhanjie asked such a meaningless question.

As long as he answered, he would be a betrayer.

Damn the Military Intelligence Department, damn Xu Zhanjie, they are despicable and shameless, complete villains. With this recording, he has no choice but to agree. If Xu Laogui hears it, he will not believe any explanation of his and will only think that he has betrayed him.

Soon Tong Changming sat down on the sofa dejectedly.

He understood that he had no choice.

He thought about running away, but even if he did, it was not the right time to run away. The people from the Military Intelligence Department must be keeping an eye on him. If he dared to run away, neither the Military Intelligence Department nor the Party Affairs Investigation Department would let him go.

Besides, if he runs away, what will happen to his younger brothers and sisters?
Even if we run, we must take them all with us.

And how to live after getting out?

He made a lot of money, but it was not enough to support his family, so he had to find a way to get more money.

Tong Changming raised his head.

He thought of the box Xu Zhanjie brought him.

"Damn it."

Tong Changming slammed the table. He finally realized that the Military Intelligence Department had been setting a trap for him from the very beginning, and it was a roundabout way.

Interlocking.

He was completely led by the Military Intelligence Department, and all his reactions were even expected.

Especially when he answered Xu Zhanjie's question, he was already distracted at the time and didn't think that much at all. Only now did he realize the trap, but he foolishly fell into it.

Even his plan to escape was taken into account by the Military Intelligence Department.

If he wants to run away, he needs more money.

Only if he agrees to the Military Intelligence Department can he get the thirty gold bars.

That’s three hundred taels of gold, nearly ten thousand dollars.

Converted into US dollars, it is about four thousand. With this money he can live wherever he goes.

However, he understood that even if he took the money, he would not be able to escape. Since the Military Intelligence Department had calculated this, it was impossible that they had not taken precautions.

As soon as he leaves, he will be doomed.

A feeling of powerlessness instantly filled his whole body.

At this moment, he didn't have such a great resentment towards his second brother. The Military Intelligence Department had extraordinary means, and even he couldn't resist it. They were following the route planned step by step, which was completely impossible to guard against. How could his second brother, an illiterate man, possibly withstand it?

Standing up, Tong Changming walked to the window and looked around.

He understood that people from the Military Intelligence Department must be watching him secretly.

Unfortunately, he didn't find where the person was.

The curtains were not drawn either.

Back at the table, Tong Changming finally picked up the pen and copied the letter of allegiance himself according to the pattern. Finally, he wrote his name and pressed his fingerprint.

If this thing falls into the hands of the Military Intelligence Department, there will be no chance for him to turn things around.

Unfortunately he had no choice. If he didn't agree, he would die immediately, but if he agreed, he could at least live a little longer. During this time, he had to think carefully and plan to try to escape.

It is estimated that Luan Ziping was facing the same situation as him at the time and there was really no way out.

Tong Changming is smarter than others. He believes that the Military Intelligence Department will not sacrifice him easily.

But over time, if something goes wrong just once, he will be finished.

He needs to be more careful in the future and must not reveal any flaws. Most importantly, he must secretly plan his retreat.

And there must be no changes now.

After pressing the fingerprints, Tong Changming immediately stood up, locked the door, and left quickly.

His guess was correct. Someone was secretly watching him. Xu Zhanjie and Fang Laibao were watching him personally.

"Chief, he has finished writing it. I'll go take a look." Fang Laibao took the initiative to say after Tong Changming walked away.

"Go ahead, be careful, don't let him play tricks on you."

Xu Zhanjie nodded slightly. They had no trust in Tong Changming at all. Everything was about interests and leverage.

On the contrary, Tong Changming should hate them now. Safety cannot be taken lightly.

This is also the reason why Fang Laibao took the initiative to ask to go. It would definitely be impossible for Xu Zhanjie to go in person for such a matter.

"Yes, don't worry, I will pay attention."

Fang Laibao lowered his head and responded. After making sure that Tong Changming was far away, he immediately walked towards the safe house.

Inside the house, he saw the letter of allegiance copied by Tong Changming.

But he added a sentence at the end asking them to keep their promise.

Tong Changming didn't know what to do before he came. They wrote the letter of allegiance and asked Tong Changming to copy it. There was no one else in the room just now, so it must have been written by Tong Changming.

Even if he could guess that he would be asked to write this, it would be impossible for him to prepare a letter of allegiance exactly the same as theirs in advance.

This letter of allegiance was written by Fang Laibao on the spur of the moment and was not in a fixed format. Not to mention Tong Changming, even Fang Laibao himself could not write exactly the same content without copying.
