Spy Wars: I can get rewards by being a bully!

Chapter 196 The Station Master is Very Tired

After leaving the gendarmerie headquarters, Lin Ze got into the car.

"Go through the East Gate. I'll go to the patrol station to take a look."

"Yes!" Niu Saner started the car steadily and drove towards the east.

Looking at the scenery receding outside the window, Lin Ze began to ponder.

If those four people were arrested because of a leak by an insider, then the insider should not be in a very high position.

Assuming that the traitor was someone close to Mao Wanli, there was no need to have the gendarmerie headquarters arrest a few operatives, because operatives were worthless. Even if they were the leader of an operations team or even the captain of an operations team, catching them would only deal a blow to the operational force of the Peking Station.

For a spy agency, what is important is its intelligence and liaison capabilities.

If the Military Police Headquarters could capture Mao Wanli, no matter what method they used to pry open his mouth, the entire Peking Station would undoubtedly be wiped out.

The status of this insider would not be very low. If the insider was just an ordinary operative, it would be impossible for him to be exposed to the content of the operation in which he did not participate.

Therefore, the traitor is either one of those four people, or a middle-level staff member of the Beiping Station, such as the liaison officer who gave the task to the action team. This possibility is very high, because if the traitor is a member of the action team, Shimizu Takuno has no reason to arrest the operative, which will undoubtedly alert the enemy.

While I was thinking, the car had already gone out of the East Gate and arrived at the street in front of the railway station.

Lin Ze glanced at the dim sum shop and saw no connection signal.

After much thought, he decided that it was better to have less trouble than more. What if he reported this to his superiors, and they alerted the Beiping Station, and a mole at the Beiping Station happened to get the news, then even a fool would know that something went wrong inside the gendarmerie headquarters.

Although the possibility is low, it is better not to take the risk.

Lin Ze chose to believe Mao Wanli, he would definitely find out that something went wrong in the Beiping War!

When they arrived at the patrol station, Wang Xiaoshou led everyone in warmly welcoming Lin Ze.

"Director! Look everyone, the Director is here. I'll tell you, even if the Director gets promoted again, he won't forget you all!"

Lin Ze went up and kicked him, "Get lost, don't talk nonsense here, forget or not, this place is not far from the office, I come here for a walk whenever I have time, to see if you are doing anything wrong here."

After Lin Ze was promoted, Wang Xiaoshou naturally took over the management of the patrol station, but this is not accurate, because the patrolmen still listened to Xie Quan's command, and Wang Xiaoshou managed the messengers, as well as various chores, finances, etc. in the station.

Simply put, Xie Quan is in charge of the business, and Wang Xiaoshou is in charge of the overall situation.

There is both cooperation and checks and balances between the two, which can fully ensure that there will be no trouble at the patrol station after Lin Ze leaves, and allow him to always control this basic situation.

Xie Quan hesitated, but finally gritted his teeth and whispered, "Director, can you take me to the office?"

Lin Ze looked at him and said, "Don't worry. When there is a vacancy in a few days, I will also get you a patrol captain job."

Xie Quan blushed, "That's not what I meant. Brother Xiaoshou and I get along well. I just want to stay by your side."

Lin Ze patted him on the shoulder. Regardless of whether it was true or not, it was acceptable for Xie Quan to say this given his personality. "It's not appropriate for me to be so moved right after I went there. Let's see after a while. I have my own arrangements."

Xie Quan then nodded, chatted with everyone for a while, and then returned to the office.

drug store.

Mao Wanli, dressed as a shopkeeper, looked at the street outside with an expressionless face.

The operation failed and four participants were arrested, including the team leader.

Although the Peking Station had carefully blocked the communication between the action teams and there would not be a big mess even if an operative was caught, he was still very confused.

How did the news leak?

There is no possibility that the mission issued by the superiors through shortwave radio will be intercepted.

The activists were randomly selected by him and Jiao Zhenguo, and then the contact person contacted the activists directly without going through anyone else.

Is there something wrong with the liaison?

The liaison officer responsible for delivering the message this time is also an old spy. He has experienced many life and death situations. There is no reason for him to surrender to the Japanese!

After a while, a man in a long cotton robe came in and said, "Boss, my tongue has been numb for the past two days. Can you take a look at it for me?"

Mao Wanli motioned for him to show his wrist, "Did you eat too much pepper?"

"That's not the case. I don't usually eat Sichuan peppercorns. Besides, the numbing feeling from eating Sichuan peppercorns only lasts for a while. I just can't speak clearly these past two days."

Looking around and seeing no one, the man who came to get the medicine whispered, "The contact person is fine. After delivering the message, he returned to his residence and has not come out since. Could it be that something went wrong with Lao Jiao?"

Mao Wanli did not want to reveal any doubts about Jiao Zhenguo in front of anyone, and said in a firm tone: "Old Jiao and I selected the operatives together, but he was not even involved in the specific details of the operation. I gave the instructions to the operatives directly through the liaison officers according to the intelligence provided by the superiors. Since there is no problem with other links, then there must be something wrong with the liaison officer!"

"But if there is a problem with the liaison officer, as you said, this is a one-way communication. If something goes wrong, it will be confirmed once it is investigated. If he is really a traitor, would he put himself in danger like this?"

Mao Wanli also remained silent. He couldn't figure it out. Could it be that this liaison officer was possessed by a ghost?

"He is also an old man in the station. Let's arrange two brothers to check him carefully. If he shows signs of contact with outsiders, we can get rid of him directly."

The man in the long cotton robe nodded silently, then asked, "Should we inform Lao Jiao to find a few more people to continue looking for opportunities to kill Guan Yixian?"

Mao Wanli shook his head and said, "Stop all actions until the traitor is found."

He paused and continued, "Find an insignificant operator, create an insignificant mission, and have the liaison officer deliver the message again."

It's not that he is cruel, but he has a deeper concern and must test whether there is any problem with the liaison officer as soon as possible.

Because Jiao Zhenguo is an insider of this matter. If the liaison officer is fine but there is a problem with Jiao, then it will be a lot of fun.

Although Mao Wanli felt that Lao Jiao had no reason to betray, for people in their line of work, trust was a false proposition and did not exist in their minds.

He could only pray that Lao Jiao was okay and that the liaison officer would reveal his true colors as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling annoyed. If Jiao Zhenguo had no involvement in this matter at all, he would not have thought about it and would have directly ordered the killing of the liaison officer, and the matter would have been resolved.

Now, we still have to go through review and testing, which is very troublesome.

After a while, a man in a long cotton robe left with two bags of medicine.

Mao Wanli continued to lie on the counter and look at the street outside.

Tired!
