Chapter 37: The Spies of the Rebels

(The spies in this story are very loving...... This chapter is 6,000 words, and there are 3,000 at 9 o'clock in the evening, so I only owe you three chapters. The rules of etiquette in this chapter are set by me, the Federation, not the earth anyway...... It's painful. Speaking of swiping cards, I finally swiped my credit card for the first time and bought a pot of first-grade peanut pressed oil for 130 yuan...... )

Snowflakes were falling outside the window, the atmosphere in the bar was very cold, just after noon, there was no business. Shi Qinghai's thin lips were like sucking a lollipop and holding a cigarette, watching the red light on the cigarette butt flash intently, bored, but the beautiful peach blossom eyes moved closer to his nose because of this concentration, which looked a little funny.

The wooden door of the bar was pushed open, and the cool air poured in. Shi Qinghai took off the cigarette butt and snuffed it out, pulled out the seat next to him, looked at the white hair on the man's sideburns and said, "Drink something?"

"Wine. After the director of the Linhai Prefecture Bureau sat down, he spit out a word very directly. Shi Qinghai's eyebrows furrowed beautifully, he knew this former teacher, later leader and one-line contact superior very well, and knew that the other party had always been cautious and was not very willing to drink. But he didn't ask anything, snapped his fingers, and beckoned for a glass of spirits to be brought to the shop.

"The Tai family seems to have been in contact with Councillor Pabul. The bureau chief almost choked on strong alcohol, coughing and whispering: "If Pabur can get the support of the Tai family, his chances of winning in next year's presidential election should increase by several points." ”

"Tai Family...... It's been low-key, so low-key that most of the Federation have forgotten that it exists. Shi Qinghai admitted that he hadn't paid much attention to this former royal family that had been glorious for countless generations before this intelligence gathering, he raised his wine glass and took a sip, and said, "Even if their family used to own the entire federation, after all, more than sixty constitutional calendars have passed, how much hidden power can they have...... How can it affect the presidential election?"

"Don't underestimate the existence of the Seven Families, this is something that the history of the Federation has long proven. Although the Tai family is the most secret family among the Seven Families, if our speculation is correct, it should also be the most powerful family among the Seven Families. ”

The Director bowed his head. In a slightly worried voice, he said: "They may not be able to make someone directly elected president, but they can easily make someone's opponent lose." ”

"It's always easier to destroy than to build, I understand that. Shi Qinghai's gaze was calm, "But although I have always cast a disgusted eye on politicians, I also have to admit that Pabul from Donglin is an outlier among politicians." If the moral standards and practical spirit he has shown over the years are disguised, I can only say that Councillor Pabur has played the role of a saint quite successfully. ”

"You know what I mean. Shi Qinghai continued: "If Pabur becomes the president of the Federation, it should be the best choice for the organization, at least if it wants to make peace, and there is no need to worry that the federal government will be as capricious as the villain before." ”

The director waved his hand and said: "A sense of morality does not speak for everything, Pabur in his campaign platform and in the political practice of these years. has been careful not to reveal the attitude towards the four states around the mountains...... No one knows what he thinks about the relationship between the federal government and us. If Palb comes under the influence of those hawks in the Ministry of Defense. Choose to take a strong offensive attitude towards the organization......"

Shi Qinghai noticed that the director's eyebrows were full of worry.

The Director sighed. said: "Now the land is surrounded by mountains and four states. It seems that the civil war has ended. Peace came and joy reigned. The Medellín parliamentarians, for their part, have always adhered to the principle of non-violence. The organization is organized to keep the comrades united. It is impossible to prepare adequately for war. If...... After Pabur was elected president. It chose to carry out armed suppression of the four states around the mountains. I'm worried. Our fellow landers will be crushed. ”

"Today's president is a cowardly and incompetent man. But Pabur is different. The director said worriedly: "A local president who came out of a miner's family. I think I set up a very lofty ideal at a very young age. This kind of character has a resolute character. Certainly will not be allowed within the federal territory. Especially inside the Capital Circle. There are also organizations of such anti-government forces. ”

"But it's all worrying in advance. Shi Qinghai glanced at the director. said: "Today we are taking the risk of meeting teachers and students from the beginning. I guess you shouldn't just want to say that. ”

The Director shook his head. Look out the window at the snowflakes. Suddenly, he whispered, "I just feel like something is going to happen lately." So come and meet you. If something goes wrong in the future. I'll delete your files as soon as possible...... Except for me. He is the only one in the organization who knows that the Haitian Eagles are you. You know. He never bothered with specific matters. Even if you have to get out. Nor will the organization find out...... Then you can be truly free. ”

This sentence is extremely unlucky. As a rebel, Ahn Sik is one of the two most successful spies within the federal government. Shi Qinghai and the director of the bureau have long been mentally prepared for the possibility of death at any time. But suddenly I heard this. Shi Qinghai's brows still furrowed uncontrollably. He looked at his teacher quietly. He spoke slowly, "Freedom...... It's something I really like. But I don't want to make your death a condition. ”

He patted his teacher on the shoulder and said softly: "In the past few years, I have been really tired, and I have been sending back information to the four states around the mountains, but I still have to watch that old bastard in Medellín flatter at the Federation, and I feel very uncomfortable...... But you should know that I have been able to hold on to this day because I agree with the organization's philosophy, the world does need to change, but the organization has never used assassinations and terrorist attacks that can affect civilians as a way to fight...... I just hope that this philosophy will stick. Shi Qinghai leaned back on the leather sofa, lit a cigarette, and said slowly in the smoke: "If one day, the organization deviates from this principle, then I can only break away from the organization, even if it may usher in a desperate pursuit." ”

"What do you want to say?" the director frowned and looked at his proud disciple, "Did you find anything about the Double Moon Festival Ball?"

"I just don't understand why the organization cares so much about that prince's coming-of-age ceremony...... Congressman Medellín sent the little girl who didn't know anything, and I could understand a little. Shi Qinghai flicked the cigarette ash and said calmly: "The Seven families are the biggest vested interests in the Federation, and I don't think it is possible for the Tai family to cooperate with us." In that case, what's the point of spending so much money to get this information?"

"Do you think the organization will use this Bimoon Festival dance to assassinate the crown prince?" said the director seriously.

"Yes, I can't think of anything else else. ”

"Assassinations of federal public figures are rarely carried out by the organization, as this can greatly damage the image of the organization. The director looked at Shi Qinghai's eyes very sternly. said: "What's more, the Bi-Moon Festival Ball is held in a university town, and there are too many innocent citizens...... Your assumption is in itself disrespectful to the organization's beliefs. ”

"I trust no one but you. Shi Qinghai did not give up his inference under the stern eyes of the teacher, "And if the organization really carries out an assassination operation against the heir of the Tai family, you and I are completely unaware, and we can only say that we will inevitably be the abandoned part in the future." ”

"You can't convince me, because organizing the assassination of the Tai family heir is not in the slightest good for our cause. ”

"Reckoning with the sins of the Seven Great Masters in history. It is the credo of the organization in itself. Shi Qinghai squinted slightly, "And as you said earlier, the Tai family has already been in contact with Councilor Pabul." You also analyze that Pabul MP may move closer to the hawks...... In that case, why didn't the organization choose to get rid of Councilor Parb before he became president?"

"The Tai family has seven generations of single inheritance, and there is only one heir. Shi Qinghai continued to analyze calmly: "If this family is the most terrifying existence in the Federation, but in a way, it is actually the most fragile existence, as long as this heir dies, this family will definitely fall apart due to the problem of no inheritance." ”

The director was silent for a long time, and he suddenly wanted to meet Shi Qinghai, a student, today. In fact, it is also because he has some suspicions about the dynamics of the organization in the recent period, whether it is the Medellin parliamentarians or those important figures in the federation, there is a need to get close to the Tai family and show favor to the Tai family's heir, but the anti-government army that has resisted the federation for decades has no reason to care about the traces of the Tai family's heir, unless the big people in the upper echelons of the organization really have some thoughts.

After a long silence, the director slowly spoke: "But have you ever thought about it? In Xinglinhai Prefecture, the capital of the Federation, you want to assassinate the prince of Taijiadi. It's basically an impossible task...... Even if there are some radicals in the group, I don't think there are too many idiots. ”

"I believe this, even it took me several months to determine the exact location of that crown prince, which is enough to show the strength and caution of the other party. Shi Qinghai shrugged his shoulders and said, "I just hope you have been careful lately...... Pay more attention to the people and intelligence over there. ”

"What are you going to do?" asked the Director as he slowly drank the remaining amber liquid from his cup, his face flushed.

"Tonight's Double Moon Festival Ball, I'll personally watch it, no matter who the organization sends to carry out this plan. I'm going to let him fail. Shi Qinghai's tone was very calm.

"You're fighting the organization. ”

"I hope this unpleasant thing doesn't happen. But if the organization really does it without the two of us...... Without trust, there is only shameless exploitation and extermination after the fact. I'm no longer a member of the organization. ”

The director sighed, looked at this young official who was usually extremely lazy, but at the moment he was shining like a knife and said: "Maybe we are thinking too much, maybe tonight's ball is just a vanity fair show for the children of rich families, or maybe the upper echelons of the organization really just want to change their thinking, try to contact the real power class in the federation, and seek a more peaceful future." ”

Shi Qinghai raised his eyebrows, laughed, and raised his glass to the other party: "If that's the case, that's the best." Last time, it was said that the Tai family's coming-of-age ceremony had a very strange rule, if you just want to contact the prince, we don't have as many female students around Councilor Medellín in our organization...... Although I was born beautiful, I'm a man after all, right?"

The director laughed and said, "We would never betray a woman so tastelessly. After a moment, he calmed down and said with a smile: "The latest directive from the upper echelons of the organization, ordering you to do everything you can to contact that prince. ”

"Damn, that's when you said that. Shi Qinghai was stunned for a moment and then scolded, "It seems that there should be no problem with tonight's ball?"

"Let's be careful. The director tapped him on the shoulder.

"Then I left first, and made an appointment with a friend, which has been delayed for too long. ”

Covered in light snow, Shi Qinghai walked in the direction of the store on the quiet street of Linhai Prefecture without going far. His brow furrowed, he glanced down at his watch, pushed open the upper cover, and saw a line of words appear on the hidden display below.

"Don't worry about the prom, because he's coming, and the address is in ......"

Shi Qinghai's expression was stunned. The only ones who can contact themselves in this way are the teacher who just broke up, the old guy who is ostensibly the director of the bureau. Obviously, the old guy had just received this information, and he was in an unusually happy mood or was in high spirits when he forwarded it to him, so he said it so irregularly.

Shi Qinghai looked at that line of words in amazement, looked at the word "he" in the second sentence, and suddenly felt that things in the world were really ridiculous, and he was mentioned in the previous conversation with the teacher, so he came?

...... It's just why he came to Linhai, how dare he come! If he really came. It seems that the Organisation's attitude towards the Bi-Moon Ball is really biased towards peace, as it is impossible for the Organisation to let him take the risk.

Snowflakes fell on his long eyelashes, and Shi Qinghai forgot to dust them off. He looked at the words on his watch in disbelief. The thought of meeting that big man soon, I couldn't help but feel a palpitation.

Each spy has its own code name to facilitate one-line communication, Shi Qinghai's own code name is Eagle, his teacher's code name is Spirits, and Shi Qinghai also knows some colleagues who have unfortunately been arrested by the Federation, such as Swallow and Crow, who have been killed...... There are very few spies in human history who are famous for their code names, but in this constitutional period, almost all of the most powerful spies came from the ranks of the rebels in the four states around the mountains. Because at the very top of the rebels' espionage system, there is a character codenamed "him".

He was the number two man in the rebels. He is the closest comrade-in-arms of the leader of the rebel army, and in the hearts of Shi Qinghai, he is a very remarkable professional - such a high-level leadership existence has never been obtained by the Federation with sufficient identity and information. The fact that the rebels had been resisting in the four states around the mountains for several years, and that no one in the Federation could know what the other side's No. 2 man looked like, was a testament to his terror.

In the light snow and breeze, Shi Qinghai couldn't help but shiver, and he was about to pick up that person. And then...... He came to Linhai Prefecture to meet the prince of the Tai family, but what can the rebels and the Tai family talk about?

Even Shi Qinghai, who was able to maintain his inner calmness and a lazy smile on his face when the seawall collapsed in front of him, still couldn't help shaking his heart after learning this information.

Over the years, he has obtained a great deal of federal intelligence for the rebels, helping the people of the four states not only to survive the fighting, but also to help the moderates of the rebels to gain a lot of money in the local elections. Arguably. He was one of the rebels' most successful spies over the years, but he faced the bosses of his immediate superiors...... Facing the "he" that no one has ever seen before. Shi Qinghai is not confident at all.

To ensure his absolute safety in Linhai Prefecture, and to arrange for him to meet the young man at the Bimonthly Festival Dance, the huge pressure made Shi Qinghai's eyebrows furrow in an instant.

This pressure also made him only notice the anomaly there and hear the specific content of the conflict there until he walked into the store. With just one glance, Shi Qinghai guessed the intention of the group of rich men and women, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he walked over directly, and said to Xu Le, who was still drinking coffee, "Let's go?"

Xu Le directly regarded the group of men and women as air, but he was also a little annoyed, and when he found that Shi Qinghai was finally here, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, stood up and asked, "I'll accompany you to try on clothes?"

"No, I don't. Shi Qinghai squinted slightly at those people, and there was naturally a hint of indifference in his eyes, "Manager, how many pairs of shoes are there in the store?" ”

The group of proud rich men and women were in conflict with Xu Le before, when they saw the kid's companion coming, they were about to take the lead, but they didn't expect Shi Qinghai to be mad ahead.

The store is very expensive, so if you want to buy all the shoes in the store. How much money do you need to spend? These noble people in the field have this kind of financial ability, but no one will do such a nouveau riche thing.

The man who wanted Xu Le to take off his dress at first looked at Shi Qinghai with a sneer and said, "Please continue to perform." ”

Shi Qinghai ignored him, and directly dragged the beautiful female manager to the checkout, the female manager had seen those weirdos who liked to show off their wealth, but she still felt that she was required to pack all the shoes...... It's a little weird. Xu Le followed behind dumbfounded. He asked, "Where did you get all this money?"

"Don't you have a bank card there?" Shi Qinghai said.

Xu Le smiled bitterly and lowered his voice and said, "There are still hundreds of thousands, and a pair of shoes here is worth thousands, how can I buy them all?"

Shi Qinghai smiled very kindly, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, you don't know what the limit of your card is, do you...... Can be overdrawn, and the amount is amazing......"

Xu Le took out the Sanlin United Bank card left by his uncle, and then couldn't believe his eyes, and looked at the successful swiping of the card very distressedly, all the ...... in the store at this time And the shoes belonged to him.

The performance of the female manager today is really amazing. She looked at Xu Le with a smile, returned the bank card with both hands, and said, "Welcome to come next time." ”

Shi Qinghai instructed the other party to deliver all the floor shoes to a certain address tomorrow afternoon. Then he patted Xu Le on the shoulder, and under the gaze of the store staff, he walked proudly towards the outside of the store.

When they walked past the group of rich children, the man sneered and said, "It turns out that there are really a lot of fools in Linhai Prefecture, and they still play such a tasteless thing as burning money." ”

"Who are the fools talking about?" Shi Qinghai didn't remain silent this time, turned around with a smile, looked at the man and said, "Master, I just want to know that there is a group of fools who bought dresses, but they can't even match a pair of shoes...... When the time comes, go to the prom. What a happy scene it will be. ”

Everyone was stunned and immediately became angry, and then they realized that this guy in a crumpled Brazilian suit was so insidious. On the imperial side, I heard that custom dresses are definitely not made in shoes, and mixing and matching is also a much praised style, but in the Commonwealth...... It's absolutely not going to work......

"It's not early. Shi Qinghai raised his watch and glanced at it, and said very sincerely: "I hope you will have time to prepare everything before the dance, there are still many shops on this street, do you think I will buy all their shoes?"

Walk in the wind and snow. Thinking of the wonderful expressions of those rich children before, Xu Le couldn't help laughing, he didn't know anything about this kind of upper-class etiquette, but he could also guess that Shi Qinghai's move would definitely make the other party very painful. The next moment, the smile on his face turned into helpless sorrow, and he looked at Shi Qinghai beside him and said, "How can I pay back so much money?"

"Stupid. Delivery will be made tomorrow afternoon. The deal was cancelled in the morning. Shi Qinghai didn't even look at him, and said very disdainfully: "I said that you are too honest." I don't know how to talk about being bullied by those people? I can't even use a little trick, how can I pretend to be that or something in society?"

Xu Le touched the back of his head, and wanted to say that he had said a few mean words, but he just smiled and said, "I'm used to using my hands, and I'm not used to moving my mouth." ”

Shi Qinghai was stunned for a moment, thinking of the nightclub when Xu Le competed with the special forces in the army, and couldn't help laughing out loud on the quiet and wealthy famous shop street near the sea.

"I still have some things to do. At a street corner, Shi Qinghai stopped, looked at Xu Le and said with a smile: "I may have some things at the dance party in the evening, so you can play by yourself...... Maybe you can chase that Zhang Xiaomeng back. ”

The life of a spy is always under great pressure, and when he knew about the arrival of "him" before, Shi Qinghai habitually took a turn of rashness, venting his anger for Xu Le, and also relieving pressure for himself. It's just that since he came, Shi Qinghai knew that it would be impossible to accompany Xu Le tonight.

Xu Le saw a heaviness in his smile, thought of the voice on the phone before, and asked with a frown, "You...... Isn't there any trouble?"

"Big trouble. Shi Qinghai smiled bitterly, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's go." "Big trouble. Outside the fountain in the center of a very lively food square, he took a sausage and nibbled on it, while waiting for the arrival of the most mysterious intelligence chief, and at the same time slandered that the meat was really not delicious, should he let the teacher take some wild animals from the bureau to fight the tooth sacrifice?

Just then, a man walked up to him and asked, "Is it delicious?"

Shi Qinghai turned his head and ...... I saw an extremely obscene-looking middle-aged man, staring at the sausage in his hand, his eyes shining. After he was stunned, he subconsciously handed over the sausage.
