Guqi waited for Joanna to finish coughing, and asked a question that had nothing to do with the case with a serious expression.

"Ms. Qiao, what is your monthly salary?"

As soon as this question arose, several sharp eyes looked at Joanna together, and the atmosphere in the reception room suddenly became tense.

There were all those present, all of whom were experienced old information, and they discovered flaws from the archives almost at the same time.

——The salary of staff in the official residence is not low, and Joanna should not live in a place full of refugees and beggars.

Zuo Chong's heart tightened, and Yu Guang glanced at Guqi, ready to interrupt the question at any time. If this question is not answered well, it will be easily exposed.

He judged that Joanna lived in a slum, probably for the sake of joints or safety.

The environment of slums is complex and is more suitable for intelligence work, but the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, it will arouse the enemy's suspicion.

When Joanna heard Guqi's words, she replied in confusion: "It's almost 50 yuan to be converted into an ocean. This sir, why do you ask this question?"

Guqi did not answer, his body leaned forward a little and asked further: "What about your husband Pan Mingzhi's salary?"

"It's almost the same as me." Joanna answered truthfully. There is no need to lie about such things.

After getting the answer he wanted, Guqi leaned back on the back of the chair, with a smile on his face, and tapped his fingers on the table and said word by word.

"The salary of you couple should be completely enough for daily life, even more than enough. Why don't you rent a house in a street that matches your identity, but instead hang out in a slum?"

The room became quiet, and everyone was waiting for Joanna's answer, left focused on ignition of a cigarette, looking at each other through the drifting smoke.

Under everyone's gaze, Joanna coughed a few times, finally calmed down her breath and answered Gucci's question with gasps.

"Sir, our family has very serious lung disease. It costs a lot of salary just to buy medicine every month. Where can I get money and go to the rental house? If you don't believe it, you can ask the doctor to check it out."

pulmonary disease?

Song Minghao quickly covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief. Due to weather and hygiene, epidemics often broke out in the mountain city, killing many people, but he didn't want to die in the hospital bed.

Zuo Chong quickly put out the cigarette butts. Fortunately, it was the Republic of China. If this was to be put into later generations, the little fairy's fist came up.

But Guqi didn't believe Joanna's answer, so he immediately asked a doctor to check Joanna on the spot.

The results of the examination prove that Joanna did not lie. She did have serious lung disease. If she did not use powerful anti-inflammatory drugs, it would likely be transmitted to tuberculosis (tuberculosis).

Even so, Gucci did not let Joanna go easily, and he turned to another question - why there is no record of her illness in Joanna's file.

Joanna's answer is very straightforward. If someone knows that she has lung disease, she will lose the job, and the superiors will not allow a patient to serve in the official residence.

Finally, she also asked Guqi not to tell the matter out and promised that she would cure her body as soon as possible and would not spread the disease to others.

Zuo Chong listened, but he remembered it back to the day of the meeting. If he remembered correctly, the other party was sitting in the corner of the venue but never coughed once.

So the so-called fear of losing work is just an excuse. The real reason is that Joanna does not want to lose the opportunity to obtain intelligence. She defeated the biological reaction entirely by relying on her willpower and forced herself to not cough.

In addition, Joanna's family may not only need to work underground, but may also pay most of their salary to the organization, resulting in no money to see a doctor and rent a house.

Lurking is only two words, but no one knows how much underground workers have paid for it.

He was also seriously ill, and the traitor Lao Pu wanted to seek benefits for his illegitimate child who was uncertain of the truth and falsehood, and even betrayed his comrades.

Joanna and Pan Mingzhi are the opposite. They are willing to live in a slum with difficult conditions even if they are sick. Compared with the two, the difference is determined.

I had to do something for the other party. Zuo Chong thought of this and turned to look at Guqi: "Lao Gu, let's bring Ms. Qiao's husband and child, isn't it clear at a glance?"

"Okay, deputy post."

Guqi responded and called the little spy, asking the other party to go to Joanna's residence to find someone, and they happened to have a rest.

When Joanna heard that Pan Mingzhi and the child were coming, her expression changed significantly. She was worried and angry, but she was not uneasy, which made Gu Qi and the other two who were secretly observing were slightly disappointed.

Next, neither side spoke again, until the cry of the child came from outside the door, which broke the silence inside the house.

As the door opened, Pan Mingzhi appeared in the sight of Zuo Chong and the others holding the child. Joanna stood up and wanted to walk over. Seeing this, the little spy next to her hurriedly stopped.

Zuo Chong waved his hand and signaled the little spy to release him: "It's okay, let her go. If someone knows that we will block the mother and son from meeting each other, we must have said strange things again, right, Lao Gu?"

"What the deputy said," Guqi smiled back and said to the doctor standing next to him: "Let me take a look at Mr. Pan and the child, and take a closer look."

When the doctor heard the order, he put on a stethoscope to check Pan Mingzhi and the child. The conclusion he came to was the same as Joanna's, both of whom had lung disease.

At this point, Joanna's income and residence did not match the problem, and there was a perfect explanation.

Guqi put down his doubts and ordered Joanna's family to be taken out for resettlement, but he didn't want Zuo Chong to speak at this time.

"Chunyang, I remember that there are some spare penicillin in Renxin Hospital, right?"

"Yes, deputy poster, in order to ensure the safety of you and the bureau poster, the hospital ice bank has several bottles of penicillin all year round for urgent use."

"Well, please give me my portion to Ms. Qiao's family. If you are sick, you have to treat it."

When Wu Chunyang heard Zuo Chong's words, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded and called the hospital to send medicine. Anyway, the Military Control Commission's family is very good and there is no shortage of this little money.

After Zuo Chong finished speaking, he took the child from Pan Mingzhi and hugged it in his arms and shook it gently twice. Looking at the thin little face, he looked up and blamed Joanna and Pan Mingzhi.

"Ms. Qiao, Mr. Pan, it's not Zuo's troublesomeness. The two are not qualified parents. The children are the future of the party and the country. How can you delay being sick? It's too late to regret something if you have an accident."

As he said that, he stretched out his finger and poked the child's little face, and said with a smile: "Is uncle right?"

Joanna and Pan Mingzhi's hearts were hanging in their throats, staring at Zuo Chong, afraid that the dog spy would do something bad to the child in the next second.

Ordinary people may not know Zuo Chong, but they know very well that this smiling tiger is the trump card of the intelligence agency of the Fructus Party. He is cruel, sinister and cunning, and a dangerous person.

Seeing that the two of them didn't accept their words, the smile on Zuo Chong's face gradually faded. He returned the child to Joanna, and then said something like persuasion or warning.

"You must cherish such a good child. Ms. Qiao and Mr. Pan, you must think twice before doing things, and you must not let Zuo down."

As the head of the family, Pan Mingzhi stepped forward and blocked his wife and children with his body, thanked Zuo Chong, and finally expressed respectfully that he would act according to Zuo Chong's words.

"Hahaha, that's fine. Mr. Pan doesn't have to worry. Penicillin is very effective for your illness. Please stay here with peace of mind."

Zuo Chong laughed with satisfaction and ordered the spy to send the two away. Seeing the other party's family of three walking out of the room, he tilted his head and ordered Gu Qi.

"Lao Gu, remember to verify the whereabouts of Joanna and Pan Mingzhi. If there is no problem, forget it. The wife attaches great importance to Jo, so I will regard you and I as a good relationship."

Guqi didn't expect that Joanna would still be so polite, and she repeatedly agreed with Zuo Zhong's arrangement. The most dangerous thing since ancient times was the pillow wind, and she completely let go of her suspicion of Joanna.

Seeing the old partner's reaction, Zuo Chong felt relieved. Joanna and his wife were very professional and would not have any problems with their whereabouts, so they immediately called the next person in.

One by one, the suspects entered the reception room and went out again. The list of suspects quickly shrank, and in the end there were only more than ten people left. After soliciting everyone's opinions, Zuo Chong decided to make a concerted effort and end the question at one time.

"Enter."

Guqi shouted outside, and a young man in a lieutenant uniform strode in, walked to the center of the room and raised his hand to salute Zuo Chong.

"I have met the superiors."

"Yeah, sit down and say."

Zuo Chong's response was very cold. He glanced over the file, then scanned the person's face, and asked him about his name and position.

The young man stood up and replied loudly: "Bi Zhibian Jichao, the official residence guard, is responsible for personal protection of the leader."

Yes, he was another close minister of the emperor, and he was the one with the hardest background. Zuo Chong and Guqi looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Someone's guard is divided into two layers: inner and outer layers, and the outer layer is composed of members of the garrison troops and is rotated. The personnel situation is relatively complicated, but they cannot access confidential information.

The inner layer is divided into two groups A and B. The official residence of Group B is responsible for the security of the public areas of the official residence. Some of the personnel are recommended by the military, and some are secret selections. They are both elite soldiers in the army.

As for the group A closest to someone, the members are not as well-versed in various military skills as many people think, can run horses on their arms and stand on their fists, and can blow their assassin overturn them with a breath.

In fact, some people in Group A couldn't even shoot accurately, but these people had an advantage that others could not match - loyalty.

The guards who can enter Group A must meet three conditions.

1. You must be from Zhejiang Province or Ningbo, and you must be a member of the Gory Party.

2. Relatives must die in the encirclement and suppression operations or the battlefield against Japan.

Third, you must get recommendations from two or more seniors of the Killing Party.

Under the screening of these three conditions, the Group A guards are very reliable. They will block the gun for someone without hesitation at critical moments. Will such a person be a traitor?

Gu Qi didn't want to offend Bian Jichao, nor did he want to waste time. He was ready to go through a process, and asked a few questions and let the other party leave.

Although you are a lieutenant now, you may be on the same level as him next time you meet. Sometimes you have to pursue things that will last for a lifetime, which is not worth mentioning in the eyes of some people.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Zuo Chong flipped through the files and found that Bian Jichao had the discipline of merit rewards for underground party operations. He had more than one blood debt in his hand, which basically ruled out that the other party was his own.

Close the file, left Chong glanced at Bian Jichao slightly, looked up and down, and then fell on the buttons of Bian Jichao's cuffs, and frowned and asked.

"You have a close-fitting protective collar and sleeves, and you must know the encirclement plan?"

"Report to the left, yes."

"When did you know the details of the plan at the earliest, I'm talking about the details."

"Will, the day before the meeting started, but I heard that there was a plan last summer."

Bian Jichao's expression was nervous when he spoke, his eyes were erratic, and he subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

Zuo Chong wrote the four words "Last Summer" in his heart. It's good that someone deliberately launched friction and destroyed the anti-Japanese testimony and witnesses.

These evidences may not be necessary for the current underground party, but they can play a huge role in the future and are no worse than those of bombs.

After collecting the information, Zuo Chong was like a hungry wolf who saw his prey. He slowly moved his head closer to the other party and asked again in an oppressive tone.

"The last question, Lieutenant Bian, the file says that you are single, have an average family background, and are not around, right?"

"yes."

Bian Jichao replied subconsciously with a confused look on his face.

A smile appeared on Zuo Chong's face. He hadn't seen such a simple person being questioned for many years. He pointed at Bian Jichao's sleeve and looked playful.

"Can you explain who bought you the cufflinks? Zuo advised you to think about it before answering. Don't say that you bought it yourself.

I also have this handmade silver cufflink. The price is higher than your monthly military salary. There is only one place in the mountain city, which is easy to check."

Bian Jichao immediately sweated heavily, opened his mouth and hesitated for a while, and finally lowered his head dejectedly and honestly told him that he had met a girlfriend outside, and that the two often met in private.

According to the security discipline of the official residence, similar behaviors are never allowed. Everyone sat upright, which may be the breakthrough they were struggling to seek.
