Quartermasters can also fight the devils

Zhang Wenwu was still secretly admiring the beauty, completely unaware that his behavior had attracted the beauty's attention. She was just pretending not to know.

After finishing her meal, Liu Qiqian stood up as if nothing had happened and walked to the service counter to pay the bill. Zhang Wenwu saw that her figure was simply invincible. He didn't look away until Liu Qiqian walked out of the restaurant door. He felt that he had a connection with the western restaurant and the coffee shop. He had to come to this place more often in the future to at least feast his eyes. The only pity was that there was no sitcom to watch today.

Zhang Wenwu had a good impression of Kong Lina. After all, they often met. He just needed to resolve the issue between her and Chen Mingzhang before he could move forward. Zhang Wenwu felt unhappy when he thought of Chen Mingzhang. What a traitor.

After eating and drinking, Zhang Wenwu paid the bill and walked out of the western restaurant, smoking and walking towards the Hongyun Casino. But he didn't know that not far behind him, there was a man wearing a civilized hat, following him.

The Hongyun Casino was still bustling with people. Zhang Wenwu walked upstairs as if he was familiar with the place. He had to go to see Fourth Master Xue to see if there was any new news.

Ten minutes later, Zhang Wenwu came out of Xue Siye's room with a disappointed look on his face. Hu San, who had gone to contact Chen Mingzhang, had not returned yet, so there was no news for him. Zhang Wenwu could only continue to wait. After returning to the room, Zhang Wenwu lay on the bed and thought about Chen Mingzhang for a while, but he couldn't figure out anything, so he fell asleep on the bed.

He didn't know how long he had slept when he heard intermittent knocks on the door. He opened his dazed eyes, got out of bed and opened the door. He found that it was Xue Siye's men. "Chief Zhang, Siye said that we have the news you want and asked me to call you."

When Zhang Wenwu heard that there was news from Master Xue Si, he thought it must be Hu San who had returned. He had told Master Xue Si that as long as Hu San returned with news, he must come and call him no matter how late it was. He needed to know the news as soon as possible so that he could make arrangements.

In Mr. Xue Si's room, Zhang Wenwu was listening to Hu San's report, then thought for a while and asked, "If you have a suitable house, find one for him. It's best to be in a busy area, not far from the casino."

After hearing what Zhang Wenwu said, Hu San quickly agreed, then looked at Zhang Wenwu and said, "Captain Zhang, there is no problem finding a house, but Chen Mingzhang said that the Japanese will also have to see the house after we find it. If the Japanese are not satisfied, we still have to find a new one."

Zhang Wenwu smiled and said, "I know what you are worried about, but don't worry, as long as you find a house as I said, the Japanese will definitely be satisfied." He knew that this clinic of the Japanese was definitely not a real clinic, and it was most likely a spy intelligence station.

A clinic must be opened in a prosperous area with convenient transportation. Moreover, since it is a Japanese-run clinic, the consultation fee must be relatively expensive. If you don't open it in a prosperous downtown, will you open it in a remote place to treat the poor? Can those poor people afford the consultation fee? That would easily attract attention. Therefore, the house I found for the Japanese must be fine.

Hu San had not thought about such profound issues, and he did not normally come into contact with them, so he was worried. His starting point was to judge this clinic as a real clinic.

"Just do as Deputy Director Zhang said. Also, this matter must be kept confidential. Only the three of us know about it. Do you understand?" Fourth Master Xue emphasized to Hu San that the matter had to be kept confidential. He didn't want his men to make the matter known to everyone, as he would not be able to explain to Deputy Director Zhang if that happened.

Hu San said he understood, then he left and went back to Chunfeng Building next door to wait for Chen Mingzhang who was still having fun inside. As for the house, he already had a plan in mind. There was a house that was ready to be rented out a block away from the casino. A subordinate in the gang told him some time ago that the house fully met the requirements.

Zhang Wenwu got the news and went back to his room. He could sleep more peacefully now. After the Japanese clinic opened, he would go and check it out to see if he could find anything.

The next morning, Zhang Wenwu walked out of the gate of Hongyun Casino with a refreshed spirit and walked slowly to the division headquarters. Somehow, since the Western meal yesterday, he always felt a little weird and uncomfortable. Could it be because of that beauty? I just looked at her. I often looked at beauties before, but I didn't feel this way.

What Zhang Wenwu didn't know was that there was a person far behind him who seemed to be taking a walk, and his eyes were always focused on him. The distance between the two was not far or close, and it was obvious that this person was a trained tracking expert.

It was not until Zhang Wenwu walked into the gate of the division headquarters that the uncomfortable feeling disappeared. Zhang Wenwu immediately thought about it and thought it was probably a mild symptom of staying up late, so he didn't take it seriously.

He went to the Political Department first, and saw Liao Qian sorting out a pile of documents. When he saw Zhang Wenwu coming in, Liao Qian immediately invited him to sit down warmly, and then asked the officer of the Political Department to fetch Zhang Wenwu's new rank and file. While his men were fetching the files, Liao Qian handed Zhang Wenwu a cigarette and said jokingly, "Congratulations, Deputy Director Zhang. Your rank has been promoted. When will you treat everyone to a drink?"

Zhang Wenwu took a puff of cigarette, looked at Liao Qian and thought, why do you think about food all day long, you are a foodie. But he said proudly: "Of course, I must treat everyone to a meal. When I find a good day, I will definitely not forget Deputy Director Liao, and we will have a few drinks then."

Liao Qian also knew that Zhang Wenwu would definitely agree. His nickname "Little God of Wealth" was not earned out of thin air. He must be someone with plenty of money, so treating him to a meal would not be a problem at all.

Zhang Wenwu looked at the smiling Liao Qian, his eyes suddenly turned and he thought of Chen Mingzhang, whom he had investigated privately. Although there was nothing wrong with his private investigation, he would definitely come into contact with the clinic run by the Japanese in the future. If he always went to the Japanese clinic, it would definitely attract the attention of those who were interested. It would be too unfair if he was suspected of being a traitor.

Although the Political Department is responsible for internal supervision and inspection of the troops, it also has the power to investigate and arrest within its jurisdiction if it involves military intelligence. I have to inform the Political Department about this matter. If something goes wrong, I will be able to explain it clearly because the Political Department is there to take responsibility.

But how to explain it? How did I know Chen Mingzhang? Did I know this person because I overheard the conversation between Chen Mingzhang and Kong Lina? Otherwise, how did I pay attention to him in the casino? I have to find a suitable reason, otherwise the political department will not make sense.

Liao Qianke didn't know what Zhang Wenwu was thinking. The officer of the Political Department had already brought the captain's badge and Zhang Wenwu's file. After taking the new rank, he turned around and handed it to Zhang Wenwu, asking him to change it himself. The old badge was collected and handed in. As for Zhang Wenwu's file, he had to write down the reason for the promotion, the evaluation of the division chief and the evaluation of the Political Department, and then stamp it with the seal of the Political Department.

While changing his own cards, Zhang Wenwu pretended to chat and said, "I slept in the Hongyun Casino all day yesterday. When I was eating in the casino this morning, I heard the people in the casino chatting. They said that a young man from Shanghai lost a lot of money in the casino these two days, but he didn't even blink an eye. He is really rich." Zhang Wenwu had already thought of how to reveal Chen Mingzhang's affairs to Liao Qian, so he used the method of hearsay in the casino, so that he could explain it this way.

"Well, for these rich young men, the last thing they lack is money. It's normal, they are just some uneducated and unskilled playboys." Liao Qian replied without looking up while writing comments on Zhang Wenwu's file. He looked down on this kind of young man the most.

"I heard from people in the casino that Chen Mingzhang is not a playboy. It is said that he came to Zhenjiang this time with the Japanese and plans to open a clinic in Zhenjiang. It seems that this Mr. Chen is a capable man." Zhang Wenwu continued to exaggerate.

When Liao Qian heard about the Japanese, he also raised his head. With his intuition, he immediately felt that something was wrong with Chen Mingzhang. The relationship between China and Japan is very tense now, and the anti-Japanese sentiment among the people is also very high. Generally, no one will cooperate with the Japanese to do business, except for those dead traitors. If the Japanese and this Mr. Chen opened a clinic, they should have opened it in Shanghai. Why did they come to Zhenjiang? Besides, Mr. Chen is not from Zhenjiang, so there is something wrong.

"Oh? Deputy Director Zhang, tell me more about it." Liao Qian also put down the pen in his hand and waited carefully for Zhang Wenwu to introduce the details to him. He felt that Zhang Wenwu was good at making money, but he had little experience in this kind of espionage work and might not be aware of the problems involved.

Zhang Wenwu knew his plan was successful as soon as he heard it. Liao Qian was a graduate of the special training class of the Political Department, and his job was counter-espionage investigation. He must have noticed that this matter was unusual. He then told the truth about Chen Mingzhang's actions in Zhenjiang. As for the situation at Chen Mingzhang's home, he could not tell the truth. It would not be easy for the Political Department to investigate Chen Mingzhang's background.

After listening to Zhang Wenwu's introduction, Liao Qian stood up and walked back and forth for a few circles. He approached Zhang Wenwu and whispered, "Deputy Director Zhang, I think this matter is strange. There is something wrong with this Chen Mingzhang. I estimate that he is most likely a traitor. I currently think that this clinic opened by the Japanese in Zhenjiang may be aimed at our 102nd Division."

Zhang Wenwu also felt that Liao Qian's analysis made sense. As a newly formed Central Army unit, the Japanese must want to find out the strength of this newly formed division in order to prepare for future wars of aggression. Little Japan, very bad.

Zhang Wenwu stood up indignantly when he heard this: "Deputy Director Liao, tell me, how can I help this damn traitor?"

Liao Qian was very happy with Zhang Wenwu's performance, which showed that Zhang Wenwu was a good patriotic young man. For this reason alone, Zhang Wenwu was worthy of his friendship. However, he also knew that although Zhang Wenwu graduated from a military academy, he had not received professional counterintelligence training. He had to calm him down first and not alert the enemy. So he said, "Deputy Director Zhang, don't worry. I will report this to Deputy Division Commander Qi first, and then we will discuss it and work out a safe plan. We must not alert the enemy."

After seeing Zhang Wenwu off, Liao Qian excitedly walked around the office for a few times. The information Zhang Wenwu gave him today was very timely. After the establishment of the division's political department, there had been no decent work results, and the political inquiry and investigation of all the officers in the division was about to begin. This was a thankless task. If this Japanese clinic was really a spy intelligence station, then he would have made a great contribution by uncovering this intelligence station, which would also be of great help to the subsequent political inquiry and investigation work.

Thinking of this, Liao Qian took the military cap on the table and walked towards Deputy Commander Qi's office. He had to report quickly.
