Siheyuan: Enemy spies are captured every time

After returning to the Security Department, Director Xiao first arranged for his people to question the three people separately, and he personally interrogated Yi Zhonghai.

"Yi Zhonghai, you are a worker, and a third-level worker at that. Even if you were originally an eighth-level worker, Director Yang respects you, so he wouldn't give you such an important drawing, right?"

Director Xiao asked as he sorted out the drawings.

"I don't know either. Director Yang gave me the drawings because he probably wanted me to learn more. Besides, this is not the first time." Yi Zhonghai said after thinking for a while.

"Has it happened before?"

"Another time, during the evaluation in 62, Director Yang handed me the evaluation drawings a month ago, but all of them were wrong."

Yi Zhonghai was frightened by Director Xiao and the others so much that he broke out in cold sweats.

"I know about this. Did you also hand over the drawings to Jia Zhang that time?" Director Xiao asked.

"No, it was only this time that Director Yang asked me to take a look first. After I finished reading it, he gave the drawings to Jia Zhang. He also said that he would transfer me out of the workshop and restore my status as an eighth-level worker." Yi Zhonghai said.

A security officer came in and whispered something in Director Xiao's ear.

"You guys ask first, I'll go out for a while. Yi Zhonghai, don't feel any psychological burden, just say whatever you have to say, don't be afraid!" Director Xiao said to Yi Zhonghai.

Director Xiao came out and saw Director Hua and Chief Engineer Xu talking about something.

"Director Hua, Chief Engineer Xu!" Director Xiao greeted them first.

"Director Xiao, Director Hua has just told me about the matter, and I understand it. I also knew that Director Yang came to my process room to borrow drawings, and I approved it." Chief Engineer Xu said slowly.

"This... Chief Engineer Xu, you can't joke about this." Director Xiao said anxiously.

"I'm not kidding, I really approved it. However, the drawings that Yang Weimin lent out were all fake. They're not all fake, many important parameters are fake." Chief Engineer Xu said slowly.

"That's...good!" Director Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there is no secret, it's good.

"Since the assessment two years ago, our process room has set a rule that anyone who wants to borrow drawings can only borrow fake ones. The real drawings must be kept confidential!" Chief Engineer Xu said with great sorrow, "I can't believe that a big factory director can do such a thing. It seems that he didn't learn his lesson the last time."

"By the way, how many times did Yang Weimin borrow the drawings?" Hua Chengyu asked.

"Just twice. We have records!" Chief Engineer Xu said, recalling carefully.

There was no real leak, and Director Xiao and Hua Chengyu breathed a sigh of relief. Now the steel rolling mill, especially the first workshop, is debugging the country's first CNC lathe.

Not only that, there are military orders waiting to be completed.

If there is a real leak, it will endanger national defense security and is no small matter.

"It seems that there are bad people among the people." Hua Chengyu said with emotion.

"Chief Engineer Xu, Director Hua, let's discuss this. I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing. It is a crisis for us. Since it is a crisis, of course there are dangers, but naturally there are also opportunities. We can..."

"You mean you want to hold back?" Chief Engineer Xu said, "Aren't you afraid that Yang Weimin will..."

"I don't think so. After all, he came to borrow the drawings. If something goes wrong, he can't run away! On the contrary, we made a record today, and I will report it to the superiors." Director Xiao said.

"The sooner the better, Director Xiao, please act as soon as possible!" General Manager Xu urged, "I have already told your Security Department about this situation."

"Yes, I knew it a long time ago." Director Xiao smiled knowingly.

In this way, the Security Department was not only not at fault, but was actually meritorious. The Security Department, in collaboration with the Technical Department, Quality Inspection Department, and Organization and Cadre Department, set up a trap, using fake drawings to lure out potential enemies.

Look, the fish has taken the bait.

In just a few minutes, the three parties reached an agreement.

An ingenious layout has thus unfolded, and the rest depends on how the fish takes the bait.

"Have you thought about it, Yi Zhonghai!" Director Xiao said coldly.

"I...I...Director Xiao, Director Hua said he wanted to kill me!" Yi Zhonghai said stutteringly.

"Oh, you explained it very clearly. Yi Zhonghai, you stole state secrets. The facts are clear, and there are witnesses and material evidence. What else do you have to quibble about? Come on, sentence Yi Zhonghai to death and execute him immediately!"

"No, Director Xiao, I did not steal state secrets, I did not..." Yi Zhonghai struggled to stand up.

He knew that the Security Department had more authority than the Public Security Department in some places. He had seen executions in the factory, but he never imagined that it would be his turn today.

"?!" A smelly cloth strip was stuffed into his mouth. Two security officers came forward, tied up Yi Zhonghai, and walked towards the grove.

That's where the steel mill shot the prisoners.

The trees grew very lushly.

"Ouch..." He struggled desperately. There was another person who was shot with him. The security officer forced him to kneel side by side with the other person, with his back to the crowd.

His forehead was covered in sweat and his whole body was shaking. Director Hua was too unreliable. He had been shot, so why didn't Director Hua come? If he didn't come, he would die.

"Ready!" Following Director Xiao's order, the security officers could be heard pulling the trigger on their guns.

"put!"

"Bang... bang... bang..." Several gunshots were heard.

The man next to Yi Zhonghai suddenly fell into a pool of blood. His dead eyes stared at Yi Zhonghai. At this moment, Yi Zhonghai was almost dead.

"preparation!"

There was another sound of gunshots.

"Slow...slow..." Hua Chengyu's voice came from the shooting range. Yi Zhonghai was ecstatic. Director Hua, you are finally here. If you hadn't come, I would have lost my life.

In an instant, Yi Zhonghai thanked all the great gods from the East and the West that he knew.

"Director Hua, my Security Department is executing prisoners. Please leave!" Director Xiao's voice came.

"Director Xiao, slow down..." Director Hua's breathless voice came over, but it could no longer be heard. Yi Zhonghai tried hard to hear it clearly, but it was too far away.

He turned his head and saw the dead fish eyes again. It was scary, too scary.

He didn't know that just now, the dead fish eyes couldn't help but blink. Even if he saw it, he would think he was dazzled.

A few minutes later, a security officer came over. With a sudden push, Yi Zhonghai stood up and said, "Yi Zhonghai, you are lucky. Someone will vouch for you. Your life will be saved for now."

"Thank you, thank you Director Hua!" Yi Zhonghai was extremely scared.

"Let's go!"

"Comrade...Comrade, my legs are weak and I can't walk anymore!" Yi Zhonghai took a step forward and almost fell.

"How pretentious! How dare you, with such a cowardice, steal state secrets?" The security officer came forward and grabbed Yi Zhonghai with dissatisfaction.

"Comrade, I did not steal state secrets, I was framed!" Yi Zhonghai argued.

"Everyone who was shot here said that they were wrongly accused, but in the end, none of them was wrongly accused." The security officer held Yi Zhonghai's bound hands and walked towards the interrogation room.

At this time, it was completely dark.

"Yi Zhonghai, we won't waste any more time. Director Hua Chengyu of your compound will vouch for you, so we will temporarily spare your life. But you have to cooperate with our work in the future." Director Xiao said coldly.

"Yes, Director Xiao, I will cooperate, I will cooperate!" Yi Zhonghai was so scared that he didn't dare to sit down.

Because he was incontinent, Director Xiao asked him to take a shower first, and then found a set of work clothes for him to change into.

"Cooperate well and strive to reduce your sentence. Did the man next to you see that? He was executed by us because he stole public property."

Execution for stealing public property? Yi Zhonghai looked at Director Xiao in disbelief.

"The amount is huge. Once discovered, the criminals will be executed immediately!" Director Xiao said coldly.

"Yes, leader, I will cooperate, actively reform myself, and strive to make meritorious service!" Yi Zhonghai was really scared. If someone steals public property, he will be shot. People like him will probably be shot dozens of times.

He knew very well that these were secrets of the steel mill and naturally state secrets.

"As long as you hand over the blueprints... we will give you credit!"

"Okay... okay... oh, we still have to hand the blueprints over to Jia Zhang? Isn't this a mistake?" Yi Zhonghai couldn't believe it. The Security Department finally handed the blueprints to Jia Zhang themselves. Who can he complain to?

"Yi Zhonghai, do you think we are like you, a traitor, and gave the blueprints to the enemy spies? To tell you the truth, we have already modified these blueprints."

Director Xiao said coldly.

To be on the safe side, Chief Engineer Xu made some changes after confirming the drawings.

This would make it more realistic and better mislead the people who got the drawings. Also, he would have to make some changes to the subsequent drawings overnight.

"That's good, that's good! Thank you, leader. I will make up for my crime and will not disappoint Director Xiao." Yi Zhonghai stood up suddenly: "I guarantee to complete the task!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he almost fell down again.

His thighs had been numb from squatting for so long, but he was simply too frightened to feel anything.

Sha Zhu also went through a fake execution like Yi Zhonghai, and was frightened to the point of incontinence. He was willing to cooperate with the security department of the Red Star Steel Mill.

Under the careful manipulation of Director Xiao and others, Yi Zhonghai was temporarily sent back to the courtyard and placed under residential surveillance.

Then, Director Xiao, Chief Engineer Xu, and Hua Chengyu took their confessions and reported them to the Garrison Military District overnight. The factory security department (which was the armed forces department in later generations) was under the jurisdiction of the Garrison Military District. This matter was too big, involving high-ranking officials at the department level, and it was also an enemy spy incident. The Garrison Military District convened the Market Public Security Bureau overnight to study Director Xiao's plan.

Finally, they agreed to the plan of playing the long game and catching the big fish.

A special task force was set up for this purpose, with the deputy commander of the garrison military region as the team leader, Director Xiao and Hua Chengyu as executive deputy team leaders, and the first department of the garrison military region, the first departments of the Xicheng and Dongcheng districts, and the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill fully cooperating in investigating the case.

The state machinery must have been put into operation with great efficiency. In less than an hour, the task force was established and all the participants were present.

At the meeting, the deputy commander strengthened confidentiality and, secondly, gave the case a code name: Operation Fog.

He also emphasized that the current anti-enemy spy situation is becoming more and more severe and complicated, so everyone should not take it lightly. Director Xiao analyzed that after Yi Zhonghai gave the blueprint to Jia Zhang, the other party would definitely take the next action, and asked all investigators to speed up the investigation.

In addition, the Dongcheng and Xicheng Public Security Bureaus were also asked to investigate the identities and backgrounds of the people involved in the case step by step and find out their social relations.

At the meeting, Director Xiao assigned relevant tasks!

An intensive anti-enemy spy operation is underway.

Hua Chengyu and Director Xiao stayed in the guesthouse that day and did not go back. After the meeting, they studied the people in the courtyard again. Hua Chengyu pointed out the suspiciousness of the deaf old lady.

"Thank you, brother. If it weren't for you, I might have been in a passive position." Director Xiao bowed.

"Brother, when have you ever been so polite!" Hua Chengyu patted Director Xiao on the shoulder: "Please owe me a favor."

"As you should! Isn't it too hasty to reopen the investigation into Long Xiaoni just because there are no fingerprints? After what you said last time, we investigated and found that there is nothing wrong with Long Xiaoni." Director Xiao poured Hua Chengyu a glass of water.

"Brother, what are the results of the investigation?" Hua Chengyu took the water and put it on the table.

"Long Xiaoni, 78 years old this year, from Sijiucheng. Her husband, Jin Renpu, is from the declining royal family of the previous dynasty. As you know, the previous dynasty used a system of demotion. In Jin Renpu's generation, he was given the title of General Fengguo. After the previous dynasty, he lost his source of income and spent his days doing nothing. He soon squandered his family fortune and later disappeared."

"The two heard that they had a son, but his whereabouts were unknown due to the war."

"This courtyard was once their family's property. Long Xiaoni, who had lost her livelihood, sold most of her property to make a living and lived a secluded life. During the Anti-Japanese War and the liberation of Beijing, she provided us with some help, such as some food and a few pairs of shoes. After liberation, the neighborhood office gave her a place as a five-guarantee household to provide for her retirement."

Director Xiao took out a cigarette, gestured to Hua Chengyu, and took a long puff.
