Chapter 159 "Owl" Delivers Intelligence
Hearing Zhou Qin say this, Xie Wuwei laughed angrily.
"Good good!"
"How can I be as capable as Section Chief Wang?"
He swung the whip on the door, making a "bang" sound, which scared everyone. However, no one was surprised, as Xie Wuwei was a moody person.
At this time, Qin Zhongyang, who was sitting in front of the desk, also half-poked his head out and glanced at Xie Wuwei's back.
Seeing Zhou Qin leaving with a grim expression, he secretly felt lucky that he did not believe the information, as he was almost exposed.
He also had some guesses in his mind that this information might have been deliberately shown to him, and he actually had a gambling element in it.
Here, Ichiro Nakai also got this news from Shota Yamamoto.
"What? The Secret Service's telegraph department is so useless? What does Zhou Qin do for a living?"
He brought people to the Secret Service Bureau to discuss this matter with Zhou Qin. He happened to see Xie Wuwei slamming the door and hurriedly shouted:
"Where is Section Chief Xie going?"
Xie Wuwei's anger subsided a little when he saw Nakai Ichiro, but he still said to Nakai Ichiro with a tense face:
"Go home and rest!"
After Xie Wuwei walked away, Nakai Ichiro walked into Zhou Qin's office. He was dissatisfied with Zhou Qin. Xie Wuwei was close to the Japanese. Targeting Xie Wuwei was targeting their Great Japanese Empire.
Everyone knows that Xie Wuwei has many Japanese friends. He secretly wondered in his heart, could it be the intention of those senior officials of the Secret Service?
"Director Zhou, what's going on? There's clearly a problem with the Electrical Department, so why is Section Chief Xie being asked to go back and rest?"
Seeing Nakai Ichiro coming, Zhou Qin stood up and said to him:
"This is my order. Section Chief Xie went to the Electrical Department for no reason and ruined my plan."
Nakai Ichiro raised his eyebrows, looking surprised.
"Director Zhou, what's your plan?"
Hearing this, Zhou Qin laughed dryly.
"This is also Section Chief Taya's plan."
Hearing this, Nakai Ichiro frowned. Zhou Qin brought up Tian Gu Yufu, and he snorted coldly.
"Section Chief Tian Gu is from the Special High Section, so how did he manage the Secret Service Bureau? Or does Director Zhou want to go to the Special High Section?"
Zhou Qin saw that Nakai Ichiro was dissatisfied and could only explain the reason.
"Last time, when Edo Zuozhi died, I found out that it was someone from the Electrical Affairs Department who leaked the information. I had planned to use fake news to lure out the Red Party's contact, but I didn't expect Xie Wuwei to mess it up."
Hearing this, Nakai Ichiro said:
"That's perfectly normal. Section Chief Xie doesn't know your plan, and even the Electrical Department can make mistakes. He must be angry."
Finally, Nakai Ichiro said to Zhou Qin:
"The Military Police is the supervisory unit of the Secret Service. Director Zhou, you need to understand who you should listen to..."
Zhou Qin lowered her head and waited for Nakai Ichiro to leave. She gritted her teeth secretly. Xie Wuwei had a really good relationship with the Japanese. There were always Japanese people speaking for him.
After a while, Zhou Qin thought of something and called Taya Yufu.
"This intelligence was discovered to be false by the Red Party contact."
Hearing this, Yuuichi Taya tapped the table with his fingers.
"He doesn't care about false intelligence, so let's give him real intelligence."
After he finished speaking, he picked up a secret letter, with a cunning look in his eyes, and said to Zhou Qin:
"I've received information that Mr. Cai, an important member of the Red Party, is coming to Shanghai. It's a good opportunity for us to capture Mr. Cai's information and use him to lure out the Red Party's personnel in the Secret Service Bureau."
The two discussed for a long time, but they didn't know that the contact person of "Carrier Pigeon" was not in the Electrical Department at all.
Just as the two said, Qin Zhongyang received the telegram again. He held the pen and hesitated for a moment.
The news that Mr. Cai is coming has been discovered by the Secret Service. Mr. Cai is in danger!
Mr. Cai has a special identity and has been hunted by the Japanese. Logically, his whereabouts should not be revealed. Could this also be a test by Zhou Qin?
But that doesn't make sense. The previous test had been exposed, and now there's another fake one. It doesn't make sense.
He was muttering in his heart, and Wei Qiang beside him asked:
"Old Qin, what's wrong? The content of this telegram is very complicated?"
Hearing this, Qin Zhongyang shook his head, turned around to write down the contents of the telegram, and asked tentatively:
"Director Zhou has been very concerned about our Electrical Affairs Department recently. Did something happen?"
Wei Qiang sensitively moved his eyes away from the notebook and glanced at Qin Zhongyang.
"Why do you ask that? You've always been focused on the telegram, so why are you focusing on these things now?"
Qin Zhongyang was thin and looked honest, with a simple appearance. He was always taciturn and seldom paid attention to these things. There had to be a reason to dispel Wei Qiang's suspicion.
"Someone has been in my house. If Director Zhou really wants to investigate, he can just search openly. There's no need to be so sneaky. My pet Xiaolan was even pried to death."
Xiaolan is an orchid raised by Qin Zhongyang. Qin Zhongyang loves it very much. Now its roots have been broken by Wang Zhuang's people.
Seeing that the honest people discovered the trick and even got angry, wasn’t Wei Qiang angry?
Wei Qiang was of course angry. Zhou Qin even said she doubted him. He reluctantly said:
"I told Director Zhou to have her people be careful."
Qin Zhongyang saw that the situation was almost over and Wei Qiang also left quietly with dissatisfaction in his eyes.
He went to the bathroom. Xie Wuwei had gone home to rest and had not yet come to the Secret Service Bureau.
He could only place his hopes on Xie Wuwei's fiancée Lin Ruotang. He had a hunch that Lin Ruotang was also one of theirs, and she and Xie Wuwei must be covering for each other.
Qin Zhongyang was in the tea room, thinking about how to contact Lin Ruotang. He happened to see Lin Ruotang coming up to get a telegram and passing by Wei Qiang. He had an idea in his mind.
He was in the tea room, looking at the cup of freshly poured boiled water. He placed the boiled water next to the window. Mist condensed on the window, and he quickly wrote down a few numbers with his fingers.
In this way, even if Lin Ruotang is not one of them, there is no evidence to accuse him of leaking information. After all, once the water dries up, there will be nothing left.
Qin Zhongyang gritted his teeth, poured some boiling water on the back of his hand, and threw the cup down fiercely.
"Bang!"
He covered his hands and uttered a scream.
"what--"
Lin Ruotang took out the documents from the Electrical Department and was about to go downstairs when he heard the sound coming from the tea room and walked over.
She found that Qin Zhongyang's water cup had fallen to the ground and his hand was burned.
Lin Ruotang's eyes turned, guessing that there was something fishy going on, she asked with concern:
"Deputy Director Qin, are you okay?"
Hearing this, Qin Zhongyang waved his hands and said to Lin Ruotang:
"I accidentally got scalded while receiving water just now!"
Lin Ruotang saw that the back of his hand was red, and immediately said to him:
"Rinse with cold water first, then go to the infirmary. It will feel better."
Qin Zhongyang forced a smile and said:
"Thank you, Secretary Lin."
He and Lin Ruotang looked at each other and walked out of the tea room.
After seeing Qin Zhongyang leave, Lin Ruotang immediately put down the documents in her hand and started searching in the tea room.
She turned over the kettle, the cup and some tea leaves. As soon as she looked up, she saw the fog and numbers on the window. She hurried forward and saw a simple owl next to the number.
After she finished reading, she immediately wiped off the numbers on the window with her hand and went downstairs calmly.
She didn't know what these numbers meant, but it seemed like they were a notification to Xie Wuwei.
She returned to her office, picked up the phone, and finally put it back.
Now Zhou Qin has begun to doubt herself. If she calls Xie Wuwei, it would be too deliberate.
Moreover, if the information is leaked, he will also be suspected, so there is no need to drag Xie Wuwei into it.
But how should I pass this information to Xie Wuwei?
Lin Ruotang suddenly thought of Wang Juan. She called Wang Juan and said to her:
"Sister Juan, last time on July 5th, I lost 362 yuan in French currency. How about I change it into dollars for you? How about 20 dollars?
We are no longer related, it’s just five or six dollars, just wipe it off for me…”
Wang Juan was very surprised when she received the call. Lin Ruotang had never lost so much money before. Usually, he could only win back what he lost by letting others win.
She knew that Lin Ruotang must have other intentions, and her expression gradually became serious.
At this time, the door was opened.
Zhou Qin walked in and stood quietly beside Lin Ruotang, staring at Lin Ruotang with a deep look in her eyes, like a wolf secretly spying on its prey.
