This evening.

After a busy day, Li Si, the leader of the cryptography team, and his cousin Li Shu walked tiredly to the dormitory area, chatting as they walked.

"Cousin, the superiors asked us to decipher the Japanese secret messages as soon as possible. They said they wanted to support the battle in North China. I think this is a fool's errand.

The man named Chen in the research team has never done anything serious for a minute every day except reading newspapers and drinking tea. How can we expect him to do anything?"

Li Shu kicked away a stone in frustration and complained about Chen Shi's lack of professionalism, with a very disdainful tone.

Li Si chuckled twice and said nonchalantly: "Okay, it's not like you don't know that his surname is Chen. This is his confidence.

Not to mention not doing serious work, being able to work at the institute every day is a favor to Directors Wen and Wang, so learn more, you kid."

"No wonder people say that the party-state does not..."

"Shut up!"

Just when Li Shu wanted to help Guo Dang tell his fortune, Li Si quickly interrupted him sharply, then looked around carefully and scolded with a frown.

"I know you are dissatisfied with the Guo Party, but this is Jinling, and there are military and police officers everywhere. If you have anything to say, we can talk to you back to the dormitory.

Have you forgotten the trouble you caused in Chahar? If not for luck, you would have been shot by the Japanese and traitors by now.

Your father entrusted you to me, and I am responsible for your life. You must never say these words in the institution or in public in the future."

"I'm just saying."

Li Shu knew that he was being rash, so he lowered his head after explaining: "I understand, cousin, I just can't stand that person surnamed Chen.

Now the front line is a critical moment that determines the rise and fall of a nation. Like him, when can we decipher the enemy's code?

And could he be doing this on purpose? The file says he is from Zhejiang Province and went to Japan to study after graduation. He is probably a traitor."

"You, you!"

Li Si looked at the other party helplessly. He was too lazy to say anything to his overly advanced little cousin, and simply quickened his pace.

To work as an errand in the cesspool of the government, you don't have to know how to do things or have any background, but you can't offend people you shouldn't offend.

Doesn't he know that Chen Shi is just messing around? Of course he knows, but what can he do if he knows, he can only pretend not to see it.

When he walked to the door of the dormitory, Li Si took out the key from his pocket and inserted it into the keyhole. After thinking about it, he turned back and warned him.

"Pay attention to the Secret Service Headquarters and the Secret Service, especially the Secret Service. Those people are ruthless and ruthless, and we will all be in trouble if we fall into their hands."

Crunch~

The door to the room where they were talking was opened, and as the door panel slowly turned, the light cord in the room was pulled with a snap, and the dim light came on.

Deep in the room where light and shadow intersected, a dark figure stood up from the wicker chair and slowly approached, followed by a faint chuckle.

"Thank you for the compliment, Team Leader Li, but we only attack saboteurs who threaten the country and will not harass talents like you two."

"who!"

Li Si reacted immediately and took a step forward to block his cousin Li Shu behind him. The next second he wanted to call for help to the guards in the distance.

But before they could open their mouths, several men in Chinese tunic suits quickly came over, holding their mouths with one hand and threatening them with a gun with the other.

In response, the guard acted as if he hadn't seen anything and turned his head away as if nothing had happened. Soon, only his back was left.

Li Si and Li Shu were desperate. They could only obey and entered the house wrapped in Chinese tunic suits, and the door behind them was slammed shut.

"Deputy Director, no problem."

After entering the house, a man in a Chinese tunic suit searched the two of them very professionally, not missing any part of their clothes, belts, and mouths.

"Haha, let go of my guests. Be gentle. They are not Japanese spies. If they get hurt, I will only ask you."

The man in the room walked up to the light and said something with a smile. He was wearing a suit and looked to be in his twenties. He was very elegant.

Li Si's heart skipped a beat. Deputy Director, what the other party said before they entered the door was that this person could only be one person.

Deputy Director of the Secret Service,

Deputy leader of the Sixth Group of the Attendant's Office No. 2,

National-military colonel officer,

The famous Zuo Zhong.

The only advantage of working in a cryptanalysis laboratory is that you are well-informed. The laboratory can be regarded as an intelligence agency after all.

He had heard rumors about the other party countless times, about killing people like crazy and skinning spies alive. The rumor was that they had noses and eyes.

Some people say that the first thing this smiling tiger does when he gets up is to kill a few people to cheer him up, otherwise he will feel uncomfortable all over. He is simply a devil.

With such a murderer coming to his door, he must be up to no good. Li Si breathed slowly and quickly, swallowed his saliva and asked with difficulty.

"It's Deputy Director Zuo, I don't know. I don't know what business you are here for this time. Your humble position is the head of the deciphering team of the Cryptozoology Institute, not a spy.

Next to me is my cousin, who is also a staff member of the Interpretation and Interpretation Institute. He is a student of Qinghua University and has a clean background. Please be aware of this."

"Well, please sit down."

After hearing this, Zuo Chong did not express his position, but pointed to the stool with a smile and asked them to sit down first. You have to be polite when dealing with cultural people.

After the two of them sat down, he slowly pulled out the ppk, twitched the slide neatly to load it, then put the gun in his hand and said kindly.

"Zuo really believes what Team Leader Li said, otherwise I wouldn't be meeting you in this way and at this place today.

As for your cousin Li Shu, you will know for yourself whether his background is really clean, but this has nothing to do with our Secret Service.

I'm here this time because I need your help with a small matter. Don't worry, it's not a dangerous task. What do you think?

It doesn’t matter if you don’t agree. I’m a reasonable person and I never force anyone to do something they don’t want to do. I swear to God.”

After speaking, he raised his head and stared at Li Si and Li Shu. Seeing that neither of them raised any objection, he couldn't help but reveal a kind smile on his face.

Reasonable?

Bullshit!

Li Si almost laughed angrily. If you can, put down the gun first before talking. But thinking about his wife and children at home, he had to hold his hands and smile bitterly.

"Deputy Director Zuo, please feel free to tell me if you have anything. As long as it doesn't involve the secrets of the Interpretation and Interpretation Institute, the two of us will definitely cooperate, right, Li Shu."

As he said this, Li Si touched his cousin, who had an ugly face, with his shoulder, fearing that the boy would cause trouble because of his youth and arrogance, and offend the Secret Service.

At the same time, they also breathed a sigh of relief. It didn't sound like the Smiling Tiger was looking for trouble, and they didn't know what the other party wanted them to do.

"Okay, happy."

Zuo Zhong glanced at Li Shu, raised his hands and applauded and looked at Li Si: "I just like talking to smart people, there is no need to waste bullets.

Well, to make a long story short, a top-secret intelligence about the movements of the Japanese navy in Shanghai was leaked a few days ago, and the Chairman was very angry.

The task assigned to the Secret Service was to find the person who leaked the information. After investigation, it was found that not many people were qualified to have access to the information at that time.

Members of your firm are among them, and Chen Shi, the leader of the research team, is currently the most suspected. I want you to cooperate with us in investigating this person."

Could Chen Shi be a spy?

What a joke.

Li Si looked in disbelief and glanced at Li Shu subconsciously. Li Shu also opened his mouth wide and his eyes were full of shock.

He just couldn't stand Chen Shi, so he made a joke: Why did the other party really become a spy suspect? Could it be that he was a crow's mouth.

The two of them were stunned for a while, looking at each other. Finally, Li Si came to his senses first and immediately frowned.

"Deputy Director Zuo, we have indeed received the information you mentioned. I remember it very clearly that Director Dai of your bureau personally sent it to the translation office.

According to the procedure, the information must first be handed over to the research team, but this is just a rule. In fact, everyone in the institute knew the news that day.

I don't understand why the Secret Service only listed Chen Shi as a spy suspect. Is it because he went to Japan to study?

I’m not defending him, but it’s just that the inspection and translation office is of great importance. He is proficient in Japanese, and the current deciphering work cannot be separated from him."

Out of public interest, Li Si raised the question directly. There was indeed something wrong with Chen Shi's work attitude, but his Japanese talent was real.

Talent is rare,

Talents who are familiar with Japan are even rarer.

Zuo Zhong nodded in understanding. This was also the reason why he handled this situation in a low-key manner. Fighting the Japanese was the overall situation and must not be undermined.

It was understandable, but he couldn't reveal his true feelings, so he just smiled and shook his head lightly without giving any explanation.

Suddenly, he noticed that the young man named Li Shu had hesitant eyes, quietly opened his mouth and then immediately closed it, as if he had something to say.

"Li Shu, Mr. Li, if you have anything to say, just say it. Zuo will never let a bad person go, and he will never wrongly accuse a good person."

Zuo Zhong solemnly made a promise, and there was nothing that could be done about it. Students would always have some inexplicable sense of justice in their minds.

If the opponent cannot be stabilized, an important clue may be missed, and no one will be able to bear the blame.

"I......"

Li Shu was still a little hesitant. The formal accusation of espionage was not that they were chatting on the road. That would have killed someone, so they must be cautious.

After thinking for a few minutes, and finally with Li Si's whisper of encouragement, Li Shu gritted his teeth and told a little thing about Chen Shi.

"Sir Zuo, although I am from Jiangsu Province, my university and first job were in the north, so I know the customs and habits of the north quite well.
