Espionage: Mastering the Ten Cruelest Tortures of the Military Intelligence Bureau from the Start
Chapter 21: Search of the Photo Studio, Additional Discoveries
Ever since Su Mingzhe graduated from Whampoa Military Academy and came to Chang'an Station, the Action Section has been in constant turmoil from top to bottom.
Every day, the team members are either carrying out missions or rushing to missions. They are constantly on the go and never stop for a moment.
Despite being so busy, everyone had a cheerful expression on their faces.
After all, it's really difficult to support the whole family with just that meager salary.
Without earning extra money and bonuses, it would be impossible to improve the family's life.
Moreover, once a soldier makes a great contribution in an operation, it is not impossible for him to be promoted from an ordinary soldier to an officer.
This is the real opportunity for them to defy fate.
After the photo studio was exposed as a hideout for Japanese spies, the area was immediately placed under martial law.
The police officers set up a long cordon and tightly surrounded the photo studio.
Twenty heavily armed police officers were on duty at the location, their expressions serious and their vigilance tight.
Gong Shouguo leisurely moved a comfortable chair and leaned against the entrance of the photo studio.
He had a cigar emitting a rich aroma dangling from his mouth, his eyes slightly narrowed, looking quite content.
A young police officer standing nearby gently fanned him with a palm-leaf fan, the breeze adding to the relaxed atmosphere.
Gong Shouguo has finally come into his own, living a life worthy of respectability.
Whenever he recalls the complex expression on the old director's face when he was transferred away with a single order, he feels that he will never forget it.
The benefactor who brought all of this together was Su Mingzhe, the acting team leader and lieutenant at Chang'an Station.
The roar of a car engine came from the street in the distance.
Gong Shouguo was dozing off in the photo studio when the sound of the car instantly woke him from his light sleep.
He looked up and saw two brand-new Ford cars slowly driving toward the photo studio.
These days, people who can afford to drive cars are either high-ranking officials, wealthy tycoons, or officials from government departments, such as the military intelligence investigation department. In short, they are all people that Gong Shouguo absolutely cannot afford to offend.
Gong Shouguo's heart tightened immediately. He quickly stood up, fastened his top button, and carefully tidied his clothes.
The two cars came to a steady stop twenty meters in front of the police line.
Immediately afterwards, a group of agents dressed in plain black uniforms stepped out of the car in an orderly fashion.
The more Gong Shouguo looked at the person in the lead, the more familiar he seemed. He couldn't help but widen his eyes and take a closer look... It was actually Team Leader Su!
Gong Shouguo felt a surge of joy, but also a sense of tension.
He dared not delay in the slightest, and immediately jogged over to Su Mingzhe, stood with his feet together, and gave a proper salute.
"Shouguo, it's only been a few days, but you've really taken on the air of a bureau chief."
Su Mingzhe looked at Gong Shouguo with a smile in his eyes and said jokingly.
"Reporting to Team Leader Su, Gong Shouguo, the director of the Jinhua District Police Station, is reporting to you."
"Since discovering this was a hideout for Japanese spies, we immediately surrounded the area and have been on guard 24 hours a day. So far, no one has entered the photo studio."
Gong Shouguo straightened his back and answered in a loud voice.
Su Mingzhe nodded slightly upon hearing Gong Shouguo's report.
Gong Shouguo is a promising talent.
He neither sought to repay the kindness he had shown him, nor did he become arrogant and domineering after being promoted to bureau chief.
Instead, he became even more conscientious and responsible in his duties, personally overseeing the work from the front lines as the bureau chief.
Based on this alone, even if Gong Shouguo had never saved him, Su Mingzhe would still promote him without hesitation.
“Starting today, you no longer need to take turns on duty here. Just put the door sealed after we leave.”
Su Mingzhe said calmly.
"By the way, Uncle Xiangzi, he..."
Gong Shouguo immediately guessed what Su Mingzhe wanted to ask and hurriedly replied:
"Team Leader Su, please rest assured, he has been buried in their family's ancestral grave, and he was buried with the highest honors."
Upon hearing Gong Shouguo's words, a complex emotion flashed in Su Mingzhe's eyes, as if he had fallen into a memory once again.
After a long pause, he finally uttered softly, "Thank you."
Su Mingzhe did not exchange pleasantries with Gong Shouguo. Instead, he turned around and led his team into the photo studio.
The photo studio is a two-story building, which exudes an old-fashioned atmosphere under the sunlight.
Su Mingzhe slightly raised his hand, directing his team members:
"Search every corner carefully, don't overlook any clues, there might be some unexpected discoveries here."
The team members immediately sprang into action, and the crowd quickly dispersed to begin a thorough search of the photo studio.
The lobby on the first floor is filled with various photography props and old furniture.
One of the team members bent down slightly, gently grasped a camera with both hands, slowly raised it, and carefully observed each part of it against the sunlight.
Then take it apart, take out the film inside, and you can develop the photos when you get back to the station.
The other team member squatted down, stretched out his right hand, and gently stroked the ground with his index and middle fingers to feel for any hidden compartments.
Another team member walked up to an old cabinet, slowly opened the door, and a musty smell wafted out.
The team members carefully examined every item in the cabinet.
He gently picked up an old photo album, turned the pages of yellowed photos, and found a picture tucked between them.
He slowly opened the blueprint, and its contents startled him.
Military deployment map of Chang'an City!
"Team leader, we've found something!"
The team members jogged up to Su Mingzhe, their voices filled with urgency and excitement.
"Team leader, we've found something. Take a look at this."
After speaking, the team member respectfully handed the blueprints to Su Mingzhe.
Su Mingzhe looked solemn as he slowly unfolded the blueprints, his brows furrowed tightly.
A fierce anger surged within his deep eyes.
"It must be Xiao Zhenguang. No one else has such ability. This scoundrel is a lackey of the Japanese."
Su Mingzhe gritted his teeth and squeezed out those words.
However, he quickly calmed down a bit. Xiao Zhenguang's death knell had already sounded, and he had at most a little over half a month to live.
Fortunately, this defense map was discovered in time; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Su Mingzhe took out a stack of Chinese currency, counted it carefully, and found it to be about two hundred yuan. He handed the currency to the action team members who had just discovered the defense map.
The team member was overjoyed; the bounty was equivalent to half a year's salary for him.
Seeing this, the other team members were filled with envy, but also full of enthusiasm, silently praying that they too could have such good fortune.
Su Mingzhe carefully put the blueprints into his pocket, then slowly walked up to the second floor.
