Chapter 17 Traitor! Traitor!
Everyone stared with their eyes wide open, their hearts in their throats, waiting for the devil to continue.
But when he said this, Xiaolin Miehua suddenly opened his eyes and shook his head.
He shouted at Xiang Chu:
"Big liar! Big liar from China."
"Xiaolin! Thank you for your confession."
Xiang Chu hurriedly stood up, tried to stay as far away from him as possible, and said with a smile,
"Since you've told me everything, why not continue?"
"Baga! China pig!"
Xiao Lin Miehua cursed wildly, stood up suddenly and overturned the table.
"Xiao Xiang! Not bad, you have broadened our horizons."
Zhang Changsheng patted Xiang Chu's shoulder affectionately, took the interrogation record, and said smugly,
"Batian! Tie up Xiao Lin. Gongsun Yi! Come with me to report to the section chief and the director."
Liu Zhengxiong stood up in a hurry and said, "I'll go with you!"
Seeing that no one called him, Xiang Chu hurriedly said, "I'm too sleepy, go back to sleep."
Gongsun Yi said regretfully: "I didn't find out the traitor in our department. Alas!"
Xiang Chu was afraid that they would ask him to do it again, so he said anxiously:
"This devil isn't very drunk, so this is the only way. It won't work if we do it again."
Liu Zhixiong comforted him, "Boy! You are already perfect. Once we catch Chang Zhiwu and the two Japanese spies, won't we be able to find out everything?"
Zhang Changsheng nodded and said, "Let's go! Xiao Xiang, you should go to our interrogation department."
Liu Zhengxiong taunted, "Don't dream! Xiao Xiang is from our Operations Department."
The two men started arguing again, and Xiang Chu quickly slipped away and returned to the dormitory.
He wanted to compile the information he had obtained during the day into a secret code, pass it to "Peacock" overnight, and have "Peacock" send it back to the cave.
Xiang Chu took out the old copy of "The Art of War", found the corresponding words, and wrote down the code numbers.
No one can decipher the meaning of these codes unless using the same version of The Art of War.
The general meaning is: "Before June this year, 6 spies from the Military Intelligence Department infiltrated Yan'an. Five of them have been killed and six are unknown. It is estimated that the Party Affairs Department also had an equal number of enemy spies infiltrate during the same period."
It was already 2 a.m. at this time. Xiang Chu hid the code and the note informing "Peacock" to pass on the information, opened the window, and was about to go out through the window through the old route.
At this moment, there was a rapid knock on the door.
"Who!"
Xiang Chu responded and quickly closed the window.
"I!"
Liu Zhengxiong's voice came from outside the door.
Xiang Chu hid the information, shook out the quilt, unbuttoned his shirt, then rubbed his eyes and walked forward to open the door.
At the door, it was Liu Zhengxiong who was panting.
Liu Zhengxiong glanced inside the room and said while panting:
"Xiang Chu! The director wants you to go to his office."
Xiang Chu was surprised and asked, "The director is looking for me? What's the matter?"
Liu Zhixiong smiled bitterly and said, "The director can't make up his mind, so I asked you to go over and give him some advice."
"You have so many leaders, and you need a new recruit as your staff officer?"
Xiang Chu was speechless and had to follow him to the director's office.
It was a close call today. If I had really gone out, it would have been troublesome for Virgo if he couldn't find me.
However, after what happened tonight, Xiang Chu decided to rent a house another day and continue to live outside.
But as a poor second lieutenant who had just graduated and couldn't even afford the donation, what financial resources and reason did he have to live outside?
Xiang Chu was lost in thought all the way and unknowingly arrived at the director's office.
The three chiefs of the Intelligence Department, Operations Department, and Interrogation Department, as well as Zhang Changsheng, Gongsun Yi and others were all waiting here.
As Xiang Chu entered the director's office, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.
The director said approvingly: "Xiang Chu is great. He not only caught the Japanese spy, but also successfully interrogated him. The young people are really formidable!"
Xiang Chu said timidly, "Director, thank you for your praise! This is all due to your effective guidance and the concerted efforts of all departments. Xiang Chu dare not take all the credit for himself."
The director was very happy and nodded:
"Respectful and gentle! Very good. Go to the finance office tomorrow to get two small yellow croakers."
"Thank you, Director!"
Xiang Chu said excitedly, with a look of surprise on his face.
Virgo likes subordinates who are as greedy for money as he is, such people are easy to control.
He took a sip of tea, stared at Xiang Chu and said:
"Xiao Xiang! Tell me, what should we do next?"
Xiang Chu thought for a moment and said aloud: "According to the leader of the Japanese spy wolf team, there is a traitor in our department. I am afraid that the news will leak out. We should immediately arrest Chang Zhiwu from the Party Affairs Investigation Department and interrogate him to expand the results of the battle.
At the same time, just in case, we will closely monitor No. 9 Wenhua Lane and wait until 9pm the day after tomorrow to collect the fish.”
"A traitor! A traitor! A hateful traitor."
The director stood up angrily, paced back and forth for a few steps, shook his head and said,
"We can't arrest him right away. It won't be too late to arrest him tomorrow after I have a brief meeting with Director Mao of the Party Affairs Office. Otherwise, our relationship with the Party Affairs Office will become even more strained."
Xiang Chu got anxious when he heard this and said hurriedly, "Director! The longer the night, the more dreams there are. Besides, the Party Affairs Office will definitely not expose its dirty laundry. If they carry out the arrest operation themselves, they will only make big things small and small things disappear. They may even kill people to silence them."
Liu Xiangan scolded, "How dare you, a mere second lieutenant, speak so loudly in front of the director."
"Xiang'an! Give advice regardless of your position."
The director said with a little tolerance, paused, and ordered,
"Senwu! The Operations Department will send people to monitor No. 9 Wenhua Lane starting at 9 o'clock tomorrow.
Xiang'an! I will call Director Mao of the Party Affairs Office tomorrow, and your Intelligence Department will follow my instructions to arrest Chang Zhiwu.
What happened tonight must be kept secret. Notify the gate immediately. No one is allowed to leave the compound. Let's go!"
"Yes!"
Everyone accepted the order in unison.
Zhang Changsheng winked at Fang Quan and pointed at Xiang Chu, but Fang Quan pretended not to see anything.
Needless to say, he wanted Fang Quan to recommend to the chief to transfer Xiang Chu, this capable officer, to the interrogation department.
