 Chapter 164 Concatenation of cases (seeking votes)

“Lao Gu, you and Lao Song come to see me. I’ll wait for you in the study. I’ve already greeted the servant at the door.” Zuo Chong returned to the study and immediately called Gu Qi. The matter was serious.

Gucci on the other side of the phone was a little sleepy, but when he heard Zuo Zhong's anxious tone, he immediately rubbed his face: "Yes, we will be there soon."

Zuo Zhong was pacing back and forth in the study. No wonder these people were so amateurish. They turned out to be a group of tomb robbers, or Japanese tomb robbers. He had a sneer on his face. The Japanese are really greedy.

If they really succeed, I don’t know how many national treasures will be lost. And since they are so rampant in Ningbo, it will definitely be shocking to think about the situation in Northeast and North China.

The section chief had never summoned his subordinates in the middle of the night. Gu Qi and Song Minghao knew that something big had happened, so they rushed to Zuo's Mansion as quickly as possible, wearing only two thin coats. When they saw Zuo Zhong, they were already shivering from the cold. Zuo Zhong quickly asked someone to find two fur coats for them to wear.

Zuo Zhong said with a hint of reproach: "There is no need to do this in a hurry. We still have to put our health first. Let's warm ourselves up here first. Let me tell you something.

I know what that guy was doing in the afternoon. These people should be Japanese tomb robbers. They want to rob the ancient tombs on Xiaoguan Mountain. "

As he spoke, he led the two of them to the stove. There was a pot of red roast beef on top of the stove, which was sizzling and exuding fragrance.

"Come on, let's chat. There happens to be a bottle of fifteen-year-old Huadiao, which will keep you warm." Zuo Zhong opened a bottle of wine and poured a glass for each of them.

Gu Qi had not yet reacted to what Zuo Zhong had just said. He took the wine blankly and drank a glass. His mind finally came to life as he was aroused by the smell of wine.

Song Minghao raised his **** slightly, took Zuo Zhong's wine with both hands, drank it in one gulp, his face turned red instantly, and he said with a sigh: "Section Chief, the tomb robber you just mentioned? But Xiao Guanshan doesn't look like that Do they look like the tombs of emperors and generals?”

Gu Qi quickly poured a glass of wine for Zuo Zhong and himself, took a sip of wine and shook his head: "That's not entirely true. Now that I think about the nearby terrain and the trend of the mountains and rivers, there are indeed some embryonic forms of Feng Shui treasures."

Zuo Zhong knew that he was familiar with these magical things, so he relayed what his grandfather Zuo Xuechen said. Gu Qi listened and nodded, occasionally showing a little expression of regret.

"It's a pity that such a treasured place cannot withstand the passage of time. It seems that the man was indeed observing the stars at night and wanted to use some method to determine the location of the ancient tomb. His three marks indicate that he has made progress. Do you want to catch it? ?" Gu Qi judged.

Song Minghao on the side unexpectedly expressed his objection: "What kind of charges will be used to deal with him now? Maybe he will be bailed out by the Japanese Chamber of Commerce. In my opinion, I will either kill him or wait for them to take action."

 Zuo Zhong and Gu Qi understood his concerns. In fact, this matter had nothing to do with the Secret Service. It should be handed over to the Ningbo Police Station for investigation. If it was an attempted tomb robbery, it would be easy to be released on bail. There was no point in arresting it. It was better to commit the crime or wait for it to happen.

Zuo Zhong took a sip of wine and asked an unexpected question: "Where did these people get the news? You must know that even I, a local, don't know the history of Xiaoguan Mountain, let alone the matter of Chongfa Temple. , If it weren’t for the old man Bo Wen Guangji, I still wouldn’t know there are tombs there.”

 Yeah, how do these Japanese people know?

The three of them looked at each other and said in different voices: "Putuo Mountain Spies!" "Japanese Chamber of Commerce!"

 The one who talked about the spies on Putuo was Song Minghao, and the ones who talked about the Japanese Chamber of Commerce were Zuo Zhong and Gu Qi.

Song Minghao's eyes were full of confusion: "Chongfa Temple is a Buddhist temple. The spy should have access to this information. When the ancients were buried, the rituals should be handed over to Buddhism and Taoism. Doesn't this further prove that the spy told these tomb robbers Thief?"

Zuo Zhong raised two fingers: "First, the proof that they purchased electrical materials. Only the Japanese chamber of commerce has the means to obtain this, and the spy is just a monk.

 Second, no one in power will allow an intelligence agency to have both money and guns. Even our Secret Service must report its accounts to the Chairman. "

Gu Qi only thought of the first point, not the second point, but it sounds like the second point is the conclusive evidence. If the Japanese intelligence agency has an independent source of income by robbing tombs, the most worrying thing should be the Emperor of Japan. .

Song Minghao and Gu Qi felt that tonight was a worthwhile trip. This is the so-called art of controlling subordinates. Only when subordinates can understand what the superior cares about can they do things better. I really don’t know how the section chief can come from so many official circles at such a young age. The secret of passing on.

Zuo Zhong didn't care what they were thinking. He was eating beef and thinking about how to deal with this matter. First of all, the Japanese Chamber of Commerce could not make a big move. After all, it was related to Japanese chambers of commerce in other cities and a possible huge commercial espionage organization.

But the tomb robbers had to be dealt with, and they must not be allowed to take away the national treasures. The dilemma made him hesitate for a moment. He put down his chopsticks and frowned.

Gu Qi noticed his expression and asked: "Section Chief, are you thinking about how to deal with this group of people?"

 Zuo Zhong thought for a while, but still did not tell the details about the relationship between the Japanese Chamber of Commerce and Zheng Jin and Yamato, and changed the topic: "Old Song, your people keep an eye on them. As long as there is no groundbreaking, leave them alone."

Song Minghao nodded and asked, "What if there is groundbreaking?"

Zuo Zhong had a serious look on his face: "That's not easy. Go back and forth from the soil to the soil and let them see the land master. They are just a bunch of tomb robbers. Can you do it?"

There was a beef stove and Huadiao wine at this time. Song Minghao was sweating all over. He tugged on the collar of his coat: "No problem, just throw it into the tomb when the time comes and let them be buried with the ancestors."    "Well, this It's almost the same, you just lack a bit of domineering, but you're not there yet, come on, have a drink." Zuo Zhong raised his glass and toasted him.

Song Minghao was so flattered that he quickly stood up, touched it, and drank a whole glass of wine.

After Zuo Zhong finished drinking, he looked at the two of them with a smile on his face: "I just thought about it. In fact, what Lao Song just said makes sense. Why should we separate the spies, the Japanese Chamber of Commerce, and the tomb robbers? They will Isn’t it a cooperative relationship?”

This is indeed what he just thought of, but it was not a reminder from Song Minghao, but a speculation. He continued: "Does the Japanese Chamber of Commerce really have the strength and channels to discover Xiaoguanshan's secret? A commercial organization, faced with such huge wealth, Can you really resist digging and instead find a group of outsiders to carry out the task? This is not logical. "

Song Minghao became more energetic and felt that he still had some strategic vision. He nodded: "The section chief is right. Could it be that a spy discovered this secret and reached a cooperative relationship with the Japanese Chamber of Commerce through a certain channel? One party released the information , one party pays for it, and the tomb robbers are just helpers.”

 Speaking of this, Song Minghao stopped. His speculation still lacked one key information, that is, what this channel is. There is no doubt about the professionalism of the Japanese intelligence system. Intelligence personnel will never contact people from the Japanese Chamber of Commerce without authorization.

Zuo Zhong smiled and patted the table gently: "You said it well, Old Song. I also understand your doubts. The communication channel between the two parties is indeed interesting. I understand both the Japanese intelligence agency and the Chamber of Commerce.

 If we assume that this channel is a person, this person is of high moral character. He actually knows the information about the hidden spies. Given the rigidity of the Japanese, his status will be beyond our imagination.

 If the channel is not an individual, but a real power agency, it can also illustrate its importance within the Japanese government. It is also a good thing to learn about the other party through this operation.

I think we can use a two-pronged approach. The Putuo Mountain side will go all out to find spies, and the Xiaoguan Mountain side will find an intermediate channel. No matter who is found first, we can follow this clue to investigate the other party. "

Gucci asked: "How to find it?"

 Zuo Zhong only said one word: "Wait!"

Song Minghao asked confusedly: "What are you waiting for?"

“Whether the spy comes or not, during the official excavation, for the purpose of supervision, someone from the Japanese Chamber of Commerce and intermediary channels should be on site. We are just waiting for this opportunity.” Zuo Zhong judged.

After hearing what Zuo Zhong said, Gu Qi thought for a while and said, "This will overlap with Chunyang's mission. He is currently monitoring the Japanese Chamber of Commerce. It is of great importance. Section Chief, you can make the decision."

He guessed that the surveillance mission performed by Wu Chunyang was not that simple. This could be seen from Wu Chunyang's whereabouts during this period. Whether it was a Dharma meeting or a trip to Xiaoguan Mountain, the other party was nowhere to be seen. There must be something he didn't know about.

Zuo Zhong glanced at Gu Qi and knew that he had already made some guesses, so he said: "I will coordinate with Chunyang. They are all my brothers. You don't have to distinguish them clearly. Our intelligence department will not engage in a fight for power and gain, and it will be a hindrance." Set, everyone will get the credit when the time comes, the important thing is to complete the task.”

 Gu Qi and Song Minghao, who were beaten, immediately expressed their opinions: "Yes, section chief."

Zuo Zhongjian had almost eaten the beef and finished the wine. He had enough wine and food to see off the guests.

He took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his head: "You go back and rest first. I will meet Chunyang during the day and give him a few words. Lao Song, you can discuss it with him in detail and make a plan as soon as possible.

 Lao Gu, you want to focus on Putuo Mountain in the near future. In a few days, you can accompany me there to see how Tongsuo and Shen Dongxin are doing, and to encourage everyone. The team is too big to lead. "

 Gu Qi was happy when he heard this. His job is very difficult these days. Many agents are not willing to go to Putuo Mountain. Not only is it not as prosperous as Ningbo City, it is even difficult to eat good food.

Zuo Zhong knew the situation in Putuo well. He was not only the chief of the intelligence section, but also the eldest son of the Zuo family. He had already heard about the resistance of the agents, which was why he went to inspect.

He is not prepared to take any serious action in this regard. Agents are human beings, and they have emotions. It is normal to have emotions. As long as they do not leave their posts without authorization, he will not use the last resort.

 A boss who threatens his subordinates with death to obey will fail. A qualified leader should make his subordinates actively cooperate and obey, and solve problems when they encounter them. A big stick will become useless if used too much.

Zuo Zhong did not reveal Gu Qi's concealment. He looked at the whistling cold wind outside and said with some meaning: "No matter where the wind blows, as long as it doesn't blow down the big trees or overturn the roof, it's a small problem."

 Gu Qi was excited and quickly agreed: "What the section chief said makes sense, I will remember it."

He understood that Zuo Zhong knew that the morale of the troops on Mount Putuo was unstable, but it seemed that the section chief did not want to scare the monkeys, so those **** had escaped.
