Chapter 997 Re-gaining information (seeking a monthly ticket)
Zhang Jingyao smiled and said, "Then I'll be so proud. Xingchao, is there anything you need to help me today? As long as you can use me, just one word!"
Zhang Jingyao pretended to be calm and fought with Luo Xingchao with a calm expression, but he was in a conflict. He was the one who voted from Zhongtong and had no confidence in front of Luo Xingchao.
Luo Xingchao picked up the teacup, took a sip of the tea, smiled, and said, "Look, you, Old Zhang, are still clear-headed, I really have something to look for you."
After saying that, he coughed lightly, his expression became serious, and he said again: "Old Zhang, you are a senior cadre of our agent headquarters. Of course you know everything. I have taken on this job now, and to be honest, I can't help myself. This is an offensive thing. However, if I find out some things, it will be a good thing for everyone and will not be suspicious in the future. What do you think?"
Luo Xingchao's words had already expressed his intention. Of course, Zhang Jingyao did not dare to neglect. He immediately slapped his chest and said, "It should be, of course I understand Xingchao's difficulties. You can ask me, I know everything and say everything!"
"Okay! Old Zhang is still happy!"
Luo Xingchao laughed and stopped being polite, and asked directly: "As far as I know, late at night on the 29th of last month, the night before the turmoil, Lao Zhang, you didn't go home, but rested in the office building all night. Is this happening?"
Zhang Jingyao nodded and replied: "It's true. I didn't finish some of the work I had on hand that day, and it was raining heavily outside. The rain was getting heavier and heavier. I was too lazy to get wet, so I simply didn't go home and stayed in the office to work overtime."
Luo Xing flashed his eyes and said with a smile: "Lao Zhang, you are the director of the Third Department. Your residence is in our headquarters apartment. After going downstairs and passing through the small gate, you don't go back just for a rain. Isn't it a bit unreasonable?"
Luo Xingchao's words scared Zhang Jingyao and quickly explained: "Xingchao, don't get me wrong. You know, I am the one who has been sent here. I am alone in Shanghai, and when I go back, it's an empty house. It's meaningless, so I often work overtime. If you don't believe me, go and ask clearly."
Seeing Zhang Jingyao's anxious look, Luo Xingchao waved his hand and comforted him, "Okay, Lao Zhang, I just asked casually, don't be too sensitive. To be honest, I asked Chen Zhaohua's confession carefully. He was on duty in the medical office the day before the incident and used medicine for people. At that time, his medicine was not a problem, so his medicine was poisoned, which must have happened that night. However, there were many people staying at the headquarters that night, and I could only verify it one by one. It was the same problem for everyone, and it was definitely not targeted at you. Don't care!"
Luo Xingchao's kind attitude reassured Zhang Jingyao. He said helplessly: "Xingchao, I know the seriousness of the matter. I dare not get involved in this kind of thing. If you are not good, you will lose your life here. I have to be cautious!"
Luo Xingchao's conversation did not really mean to Zhang Jingyao. Ning Zhiheng had already told him that everything should be investigated with great fanfare and a regular investigation, so that everyone could see it and know that Luo Xingchao had not dealt with it. Therefore, when he was investigating, he asked very carefully, which made many people frightened, afraid of being involved in this matter.
Luo Xingchao continued, "I understand your feelings, don't worry, I can trust you, the director and me, so I'll ask another question."
"Okay, OK, ask!"
"What specific work did you do that night? Is anyone working with you? Or proof for you?"
When Zhang Jingyao heard this, he couldn't help but hesitate. Luo Xingchao immediately raised his eyebrows, his tone became a little stiff, and he asked, "What? Lao Zhang, if you don't have a proof of your ability, I won't be able to adapt here!"
When Zhang Jingyao heard this, he quickly explained: "Actually, there is nothing, it's just that I'm processing some information, and the specific content is a bit sensitive."
As soon as he said this, he saw Luo Xingchao showing bad looks, and hurriedly changed his words and said, "Of course, Xingchao, there is no need to hide these things from you. If you are unreliable in this agent headquarters, there will be no reliable people!"
In fact, everyone knows that the person the Japanese trusted most in the No. 76 Agent Headquarters is probably the Director Luo in front of him, and even Director Li Zhiqun is also among his surveillance. Therefore, it is indeed everyone's consensus that Luo Xingchao is the most unlikely person to have problems.
But Luo Xingchao was not moved by it and insisted on asking: "Lao Zhang, you should answer my question clearly, otherwise you will not be able to get through this level!"
When Zhang Jingyao heard this, he had to say, "That's right. After Deputy Director Wang came over, he explained the two national-savior troops in his hands. Do you know this?"
Luo Xingchao said, "I know this, it's not a secret!"
Zhang Jingyao nodded and continued: "The Japanese army wiped out this army in Jingze and captured about 300 prisoners. You also know that our three departments are specifically responsible for inquiring about the National Salvation Army and the New Fourth Army in southern Jiangsu. So during the training of these prisoners, I investigated and interrogated some important personnel to find out some information about the National Salvation Army and the New Fourth Army."
Luo Xingchao suddenly felt nervous, but his face was still on his face and asked, "It seems that you have gained something!"
"It's not a big deal. There are about a dozen officers among these prisoners. After I interrogated them one by one, these people were not very cooperative, but someone still spoke up. I got some valuable information from it, so that night, I was sorting out these information and preparing an action plan."
Luo Xingchao was shocked. Unexpectedly, the sequelae of Jingze's battle has not ended yet, and Zhang Jingyao, the old spy, actually had new gains. This is a major situation.
So he smiled slightly and then asked, "This is just one side of you. Who else can prove it to you that night?"
Zhang Jingyao spread his hands and said helplessly: "These things are all confidential, so how can I let others take over? So I was alone in the office all night. After sorting out the materials and writing the plan, I would have a rest."
"That's hard to say. Lao Zhang, it's not that I was deliberately embarrassed. I can't prove what you said. It's a big disadvantage to you when reporting to the director. Where are your materials and plans now? I need to check it!"
Zhang Jingyao quickly got up, went to the other side of the office, and gently rotated the password on the safe, but he deliberately blocked Luo Xingchao's gaze with his body, making Luo Xingchao unable to see his movements, and then took out a file bag and closed the safe.
He turned around and came to Luo Xingchao and explained: "The action plan has been formulated and handed over to the director for approval. I only have one material here, a trial record. Please look at it at you."
Luo Xingchao reached out to take it over. He clinged his hands to open the file bag and was about to take out the files inside, but at this moment, his heart moved. He knew that Zhang Jingyao was eager to prove himself, so he was willing to check this information for himself, but he just checked it directly. If he finally broke the subsequent action plan and made Li Zhiqun return without any effort, he would be in danger of being exposed.
At this time, he pulled out the upper half of the document with his hand. Luo Xing glanced at him and wrote down the beginning of the document. 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 surprise, not understanding what he meant.
Luo Xingchao smiled and said, "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 anymore. After all, it's confidential. If one person knows it, it's safe to copy it."
When Zhang Jingyao saw it, he was unwilling to let Luo Xingchao know the specific content. He smiled and took the file bag, nodded and said, "Actually, there is nothing. The content here has nothing to do with the Shanghai Intelligence Department we are chasing. It is mainly about the situation of the New Fourth Army. Even the director does not attach much importance to it. No, he has not replied until now. The director has been in a bad mood these days, so I dare not ask!"
New Fourth Army? Zhang Jingyao interrogated the captives of the National Salvation Army. Why is the information about the New Fourth Army? What is the situation here?
Although Luo Xingchao himself was a Nationalist agent, he had no prejudice against the New Fourth Army. After all, they were all Chinese who insisted on the War of Resistance. Moreover, it is currently the two parties' cooperation in anti-Japanese war, and the guns were unanimous to the outside world. If the New Fourth Army suffered losses, this would be detrimental to the overall situation.
Luo Xing was thinking quickly in his mind, but he said without saying a word on his face: "The director is surrounded by a lot of troubles. Now our agent headquarters has damaged his vitality and offended the big shots in the new government and lost all the deputy minister of the police department. You said, he is in the mood to take care of these matters, so don't worry.
But Lao Zhang, I still have to verify the situation you mentioned. Don’t think too much about your responsibility!”
"Of course, of course!" Zhang Jingyao nodded repeatedly. These are all necessary procedures for screening work. Luo Xingchao was still polite to him and did not make things difficult for him.
"Actually, Xingchao, you will see these officers in two days, and you can verify the situation directly with them."
“What’s the situation?”
"The director has decided that these officers will be transferred to our agent headquarters because these people are Deputy Director Wang's old subordinates, and the specific arrangements are subject to Deputy Director Wang."
