Zhang Jingyao said with a smile: "Then I will entrust it, Xingchao, is there anything you need my help with coming to me today, as long as you can use me, a word!" ”

Zhang Jingyao pretended to be calm, and he was fighting with Luo Xingchao with a calm expression, but in his heart, he was suddenly shocked, he was the one who voted from the Central Union, and he had no confidence in front of Luo Xingchao.

Luo Xingchao picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea gently, smiled, and said, "Look, it's still your old Zhang Xinming's eyes, I really have something to look for you." ”

After speaking, he coughed lightly, his expression became serious, and he said again: "Lao Zhang, you are a high-level cadre of our secret service headquarters, of course you know everything, I have taken this errand now, to be honest, I can't help myself, this is an offending thing, but some things are clear, it is also a good thing for everyone, and it will save you from suspicion in the future, what do you say?" ”

Luo Xingchao's words have already indicated his intentions, of course Zhang Jingyao didn't dare to slack off, immediately patted his chest, and said: "Yes, of course I understand Xingchao's difficulties, you can ask, I know everything, and I say everything!" ”

"Good! It's still old and happy! ”

Luo Xingchao smiled, and he was no longer polite, and asked directly: "As far as I know, late at night on the 29th of last month, that is, the night before the great turmoil, Lao Zhang, you didn't go home, but rested in the office building for the night, is there such a thing?" ”

Zhang Jingyao nodded and replied: "That's true, I didn't finish some work that day, and it was raining heavily outside, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and I was too lazy to get wet, so I simply didn't go home and stayed in the office to work overtime." ”

Luo Xingchao's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Lao Zhang, you are the director of the third department, and your residence is in our headquarters apartment. ”

Luo Xingchao's words frightened Zhang Jingyao's body, and quickly explained: "Xingchao, don't get me wrong, you also know that I am the one who came over, I am alone in Shanghai, and it is an empty house when I go back, so I usually work overtime, I don't believe you to ask clearly." ”

Seeing Zhang Jingyao's anxious appearance, Luo Xingchao hurriedly waved his hand and said comfortingly: "Okay, Lao Zhang, I just asked casually, don't be too sensitive, to tell the truth, I carefully asked Chen Zhaohua about his confession, he was still on duty in the infirmary the day before the incident, and he gave people medicine, and his medicine was not a problem at that time, so his medicine was poisoned, it must have been that night, but there were many people who stayed in the headquarters that night, and I could only verify them one by one, and it was the same problem for everyone, and it was definitely not aimed at you." Don't you care! ”

Luo Xingchao's kind attitude made Zhang Jingyao feel a lot more relieved, and he said helplessly: "Xingchao, I know the seriousness of the matter, this kind of thing doesn't dare to get involved, one is not good, but I will lose my life here, so I have to be cautious!" ”

Luo Xingchao's conversation this time really didn't mean anything about Zhang Jingyao, Ning Zhiheng had explained before that everything had to be investigated with great fanfare, and it should be checked in a decent manner, so that everyone could see it in their eyes, knowing that he Luo Xingchao had not coped with it, so when he was checking, he asked very carefully, which made many people frightened, for fear of being involved in this matter.

Luo Xingchao continued: "I understand your feelings, rest assured, I can trust you, the director and me, then I will ask another question." ”

"Okay, okay, you ask!"

"What exactly did you do that night? Does anyone work with you? Or prove it for you? ”

When Zhang Jingyao heard this, he couldn't help but hesitate, Luo Xingchao suddenly raised his eyebrows, his tone became a little stiff, and asked, "What?" Lao Zhang, if you don't have a proof that you can get your hands on, I'm not easy to be accommodating here! ”

When Zhang Jingyao heard this, he quickly explained: "Actually, there is nothing, it's just that I'm dealing with some information, and the specific content is a little sensitive." ”

As soon as he said this, seeing Luo Xingchao's unkind face, he hurriedly changed his words and said: "Of course, Xingchao, there is no need to hide these things from you, in this secret service headquarters, if you are not reliable, there will be no reliable people!" ”

In fact, everyone knows that the person most trusted by the Japanese in the No. 76 Agent Headquarters is only the Director Luo Da in front of him, and even the director Li Zhiqun is also under his surveillance, so it is indeed everyone's consensus to say that Luo Xingchao is the person who is the least likely to have problems.

But Luo Xingchao was unmoved, and still insisted on asking: "Lao Zhang, you still answer my question clearly, otherwise you won't be able to pass this level!" ”

When Zhang Jingyao heard this, he had no choice but to say: "That's the case, after Deputy Director Wang surrendered, he confessed the two National Salvation Army in his hands, do you know this matter?" ”

Luo Xingchao said: "I know this, and it's not a secret!" ”

Zhang Jingyao nodded and continued: "The Japanese army exterminated this unit in Jingze and captured about 300 prisoners, as you know, our three places are specifically responsible for investigating the intelligence of the National Salvation Army and the New Fourth Army in southern Jiangsu, so I investigated and interrogated some important personnel during the training of these prisoners, and wanted to find out some information about the National Salvation Army and the New Fourth Army. ”

Luo Xingchao's heart suddenly tightened, but he asked with an unmoving expression on his face: "It seems that you have gained something!" ”

"I can't talk about any gains, among these prisoners, there are about a dozen officers, after I interrogated them one by one, these people are not very cooperative, but there are still people who have opened their mouths, and I have obtained some valuable information from them, so that night, I was sorting out these materials, and I am preparing to formulate an action plan."

Luo Xingchao was shocked in his heart, but he didn't expect that the sequelae of Jingze's first battle had not ended yet, and Zhang Jingyao, a veteran spy, had a new harvest, which was a major situation.

So he smiled slightly, and then asked, "This is just your side of the story, who else can prove it for you that night?" ”

Zhang Jingyao spread his hands and said helplessly: "These things are confidential, how can I let others take over, so I was alone in the office all night, finishing the materials, writing the plan, and I rested." ”

"That's not easy to say, Lao Zhang, it's not that I deliberately make it difficult, I can't prove the situation you said, when I report to the director, it's very unfavorable to you, where are your materials and plans now? I need to check it out! ”

Zhang Jingyao hurriedly got up, came to the other side of the office, and gently rotated the password on the safe, but he still deliberately blocked Luo Xingchao's gaze with his body, so that Luo Xingchao could not see his movements, and then took out a document bag and closed the safe.

Turning around and coming to Luo Xingchao, he explained: "The action plan has been formulated and handed over to the director for approval, I only have one material here, which is an interrogation record, please Xingchao take a look at it." ”

Luo Xingchao stretched out his hand to take it, he wrapped his hands to open the file bag, and was about to take out the documents inside, but at this time, his heart moved, he knew that Zhang Jingyao was in a hurry to prove himself, so he was willing to let himself check this information, but just check it directly, if he finally destroyed the plan of action after that, and let Li Zhiqun return without work, then he would be in danger of being exposed.

At this time, his hand pulled out the upper part of the document, Luo Xing swept his eyes, and wrote down the header text at the beginning of the document, and then he laughed, and slowly stuffed the document back into the file bag and handed it back to Zhang Jingyao.

Zhang Jingyao looked at Luo Xingchao in some surprise, not understanding what he meant.

Luo Xingchao said with a smile: "Lao Zhang, since you have handed over the plan to the director, I don't think there will be any problems, I won't check this document, after all, it is a matter of confidentiality, and if one less person knows, it will be safe." ”

Zhang Jingyao looked at it, and he didn't want Luo Xingchao to know the specific content, he took the document bag with a smile, and nodded and said: "Actually, there is nothing, the content in this has nothing to do with the Shanghai Intelligence Department we are tracking, mainly about the situation of the New Fourth Army, even the director doesn't pay much attention to it, no, the plan has been handed in and there has been no reply until now, the director is in a bad mood these days, and I don't dare to ask!" ”

New fourth army? Zhang Jingyao interrogated prisoners of the National Salvation Army, why was the intelligence about the New Fourth Army? What's going on here?

Although Luo Xingchao himself is an agent of the Kuomintang, he has no prejudice against the New Fourth Army, after all, they are all Chinese who persist in the War of Resistance, and besides, it is now the period of cooperation between the two parties to resist Japan, and the guns are the same to the outside world, and if the New Fourth Army has losses, this will also be detrimental to the overall situation.

Luo Xingchao was thinking quickly in his mind, but he said quietly: "The director is now surrounded by a bunch of troubles, and now our secret service headquarters is greatly damaged, and he has offended the big people in the new government, and he has lost the deputy minister of police, you say, where is he in the mood to take care of these things, don't worry."

But Lao Zhang, I still have to verify the situation you said, where the responsibility is, don't think about it! ”

"Of course, of course!" Zhang Jingyao nodded again and again, these are all necessary procedures for the screening work, Luo Xingchao was polite to him, and he didn't embarrass him too much.

"Actually, Xingchao, you can meet these officers in two days, and you can directly verify the situation with them."

"What's the situation?"

"The director has decided that these officers will be transferred to our secret service headquarters, because these people are Deputy Director Wang's old department, and the specific arrangements will have to be decided by Deputy Director Wang."

Zhang Jingyao gave a general introduction to the situation of these officers, and after Luo Xingchao listened, he didn't ask any more questions, chatted with Zhang Jingyao for a few words, and then got up and left.
