Chapter 1005: Both temporary and premeditated
The story of Midway Island is a well-known little story. If China's territory extends to this place a few decades later, "AF lacks fresh water" will at least be an idiom.
The code story it contains is also easy to understand, so Qi Changye and others immediately understood Jiang Yuan's analysis.
"So, the mimeograph factory is the place where Li Dianzhong often writes in the code?" Qi Changye pondered and said, "Is it because he works here? No, the couriers should not reveal their work locations to other members of the intelligence team, and it is unnecessary to expose them multiple times. In this way, the mimeograph factory is the target of the spy team's work?"
Qi Changye finished speaking, looked at Jiang Yuan, and then looked at Liu Jinghui.
Liu Jinghui said, "You are a spy, you have the final say."
"What's the use of me having the final say? It depends on the facts." Qi Changye first passed the buck, then said, "I will send your ideas to the experts. Um, can you tell me the specific analysis?"
"I'll write it to you." Jiang Yuan's cryptography has not yet been recognized, and he is not in a hurry to show anything. He just wrote a few pages of paper and asked Qi Changye to pass it to the cryptography experts of the company for verification.
Qi Changye hurriedly contacted the headquarters to update the information.
It is impossible for him to know all the relevant information. He can only ask whatever he encounters.
After passing the information back and forth several times, Qi Changye looked at Jiang Yuan deeply and went into a separate office again.
Half an hour later, Qi Changye came out and said, "It's confirmed. Three does represent the mimeograph factory."
Jiang Yuan didn't ask how it was confirmed, but asked, "What else?"
Jiang Yuan gave more than one word. In addition, this simplest single-table substitution encryption, knowing more words, it is easier to guess the meaning of other words.
And considering the number of GGs sent by Li Dianzhong, the experts in Qi Changye's unit should be able to analyze a lot of intelligence.
Qi Changye's tense expression was relaxed by a smile, and he shook his head and said: "I don't know how you learned it. How long has it been? You have become an expert in deciphering codes... Our people checked carefully and found that the mimeograph factory where Li Dianzhong works really has confidential business."
"What business?"
"Printing materials for some units, including the tertiary units of the confidential research institute, including publicity materials, and some meeting materials." Qi Changye paused and said: "These tertiary units themselves are not confidential, but many of the leaders who are qualified to attend the meeting are part-time cadres in the research institute. The materials they use for meetings are not necessarily used by the tertiary companies for meetings, but also by the research institutes."
The tertiary companies that Qi Changye mentioned are equivalent to peripheral companies of various units. The domestic atmosphere in the 1990s also hoped that children would work in state units, which is the so-called "formal" job. In the case of insufficient staffing in various units, some units simply set up some peripheral companies to solve the employment problems of employees' children. It doesn't matter what they do or whether they make money or not. It's purely to solve the employment burden.
In this case, most of the business of these tertiary industry companies can be said to be a mess. The most serious thing is to hold meetings.
Not only tertiary industry companies need to hold meetings, but also various research institutes, institutes or companies need to hold meetings, and they hold them very seriously. The closer the leaders are to the business line, the more materials they need to prepare, even if they don't use them.
In the case of general shortage of funds, some leaders are also willing to save money, so they transfer the work of printing or mimeographing meeting materials to their own or related tertiary industry companies, which belongs to the category of waste utilization.
But I didn't expect that people like Li Dianzhong also targeted the waste.
Afraid that Jiang Yuan didn't understand, Qi Changye deliberately said: "The factory where Zhang Xiaoming works is directly under the ministry, and it is large in scale, so it will be responsible for many businesses in Beijing. Many units related to the ministry will also use their venues and personnel, and the tertiary industry such as the mimeograph factory is often packaged in it."
"What kind of meeting will be confidential?" Liu Jinghui asked: "If it is just the kind of digging treasure from the garbage, the harm of this spy group will not be too great."
"It's hard to say now, because it is a spy organization that has not been cracked, so the damage assessment has not been done." Qi Changye spoke more and more seriously, and then slowly said: "Let me give you an example. It is now known that many achievement recognition meetings were organized in this factory. In theory, the mimeograph factory would mimeograph many documents and Data. Not necessarily the core ones, but...”
“Is it already confidential?”
“Yes. And it also depends on the other party’s awareness of confidentiality. For example, from what I inquired, some local units at that time kept some data and numbers in their heads, and were unwilling to form files to bring them all the way here, fearing that they would be lost on the way. But when they get here, they will find a mimeograph factory to type some data into files, because it looks better when shown to the leaders above...”
Liu Jinghui’s face changed: “This is very harmful.”
“Yes. So, Zhang Xiaoming was probably not killed because he wanted to lay off people, but because he wanted to cut these tertiary industry companies at the same time. Fortunately, Li Dianzhong was silenced by their own people. “Qi Changye sighed: “The loophole has been filled for the time being. ”
"Isn't that right?" Liu Jinghui frowned: "If Li Dianzhong is such an important source of intelligence, we would be reluctant to silence him even if it is dangerous. Was the mimeograph factory still there at that time?"
Qi Changye also frowned: "Here. After Li Dianzhong's death, the mimeograph factory lingered on for more than two years. The scale became smaller and smaller, and it was finally withdrawn along with the tertiary industry company."
"That's right. It's unreasonable to look at it this way. If the reason for ordering Li Dianzhong to kill Zhang Xiaoming is to save the mimeograph factory, then it is to protect the source of intelligence. Then what is the use of protecting the mimeograph factory after Li Dianzhong is dead? This is not Putting the cart before the horse. Unless..."
"Is there another source of information about the mimeograph factory?" Qi Changye followed Liu Jinghui's lead and shouted, frowning involuntarily for a long time before saying, "The traffic officer is exposed. Generally speaking, he follows core intelligence source.”
Being a traffic officer actually takes greater risks, and the reason why the role of traffic officer exists must be to reduce the risk of core intelligence sources. Otherwise, one more traffic officer will just increase the core intelligence source. The risk would be meaningless.
In fact, the entire spy team is designed to reduce the risk of core intelligence sources. Let the core intelligence sources do the minimum espionage work, and transfer the risk of transferring intelligence and delivering messages to traffic officers and espionage officers. This is the meaning of the existence of the spy team.
Analyzed from this perspective, Li Dianzhong fell to his death, which in itself cut off the risk and perfectly reflected the operating logic of the spy team.
The other party only needs to replace a traffic officer and provide a little training, and the team can continue to work.
"If the intelligence source is in the mimeograph factory..." Qi Changye frowned: "It has been twenty years. If the intelligence sources at that time were older, they might have retired. Many of these people have gone abroad..."
"Actually, there is still a problem that has not been solved." Jiang Yuan suddenly interrupted Qi Changye's thinking.
Qi Changye looked over naturally.
Jiang Yuandao: "Li Dianzhong was looking for something. Judging from the on-site investigation, it doesn't look like a disguise. He is really looking for something seriously. Moreover, this is also in line with their behavior pattern."
"This is no longer a discussion about seeking people and things..."
"He was looking for both things and people." Jiang Yuan took over this case for so long, and after a long period of thinking, he said with certainty: "I think the murderer himself had the intention to kill Zhang Xiaoming. Planned. Therefore, the conspiracy is real, and the murder is also real. Therefore, although Zhang Xiaoming came back suddenly, the murderer's methods were extremely decisive!"
"It makes sense." Liu Jinghui didn't understand the on-site investigation, but seeing Jiang Yuan's confidence, he immediately updated the information, added this prerequisite to his reasoning, and immediately agreed: "Kill first, and things may fall." It will fall into the hands of the police, so we need to find something first and then deal with Zhang Xiaoming.”
Qi Changye followed their train of thought and said: "So, the murderer met Zhang Xiaoming who suddenly came home. He decided to kill on the spur of the moment. But it was also premeditated."
"Yes, this can better explain the confrontation between the two." Jiang Yuan made a gesture and said: "Zhang Xiaoming obviously thought it was an ordinary burglary, so he wanted to use intimidation or expulsion to drive him out. , he might even threaten the other person to put down their things, otherwise he would shout loudly..."
Jiang Yuan: "If Zhang Xiaoming knew the murderer, his position would have changed and he would have been more prepared. I remember that Zhang Xiaoming also received military training."
Workers in factories and mines in the 1990s all received long-term paramilitary training. For example, young people were organized into militia companies and militia battalions. The factories and mines were responsible for their own security and joint defense tasks. The sports games were organized into military pentathlon games and were held in advance. It’s not surprising that he’s trained.
As Jiang Yuan spoke, he was also thinking, and said: "It means that although Li Dianzhong was a non-staff employee in the factory, Zhang Xiaoming did not know him. But Li Dianzhong decisively killed Zhang Xiaoming. As I said before, the location where he stabbed Focusing on the chest, Zhang Xiaoming is quite tall, half a head taller than Li Dianzhong. This is not a position to poke in a hurry or accidentally. "
When Jiang Yuan said this, he looked at Qi Changye again, brought the topic back, and said, "So, what is Li Dianzhong looking for? This thing is probably more important than Li Dianzhong's identity."
Qi Changye's eyes lit up: "Why?"
Jiang Yuandao: "Because Li Dianzhong took huge risks to kill people. Judging from the blood stain analysis, when Zhang Xiaoming was stabbed to death, the blood splattered on his body should have sprayed on the murderer. In addition, the murderer was holding a knife. The arm, probably the right hand, was probably sprayed with blood, and then there was blood dripping down, indicating that there was a lot of blood. "
Jiang Yuan sorted out his thoughts and said: "Even if Li Dianzhong can use the Flying Claw to scrub the blood stains and wear more clothes to cover the blood stains, can he wipe it clean? There is always a smell. In essence, if he does this, it must be It is impossible to leave the scene safely if you take a lot of risks.”
Jiang Yuan paused and then said: "I mean, Li Dianzhong may leave the scene safely, but the risk of leaving like this is still too great."
Liu Jinghui instantly understood Jiang Yuan's logic: "If the blood stain analysis leads to this conclusion, Li Dianzhong must have made a decision at that time to kill Zhang Xiaoming."
Jiang Yuan nodded: "Yes."
Liu Jinghui nodded slowly: "No matter whether Li Dianzhong got what he wanted in his hand at that time, if he didn't kill Zhang Xiaoming at that time, even if he took out a knife to threaten Zhang Xiaoming, the risk could not be eliminated. In fact, the thief in the room at that time was For two people, it is okay to just let Zhang Xiaoming get out of the way. Zhang Xiaoming is delicate and expensive, so he may not take too big a risk for the two thieves. "
Jiang Yuan agreed: "You can also give Zhang Xiaoming a knife, but don't kill him. Li Dianzhong has practiced and still has a knife in his hand, so he should be confident, at least he doesn't have to stab his chest as extreme. When the time comes, Li Dianzhong will directly Just fly away. He should make a lot of money, which is much safer than being a fugitive in a murder case."
"If we follow this line of thinking, Li Dianzhong can only kill people to protect more valuable targets. That can only be the intelligence source behind him." Liu Jinghui looked at Qi Changye: "This means that Zhang Xiaoming He may have something in his hand that he may not know yet, but that could threaten the intelligence source.”
Qi Changye understood the reasoning of the two men, but considering the importance of the next order, Qi Changye confirmed again: "Li Dianzhong was silenced because of this, and he sacrificed too much."
"He should be ready to let Wang Futing take the blame. Didn't he let Wang Futing pay for it? Originally, if Wang Futing was silenced, the matter would be over." Liu Jinghui felt that this question was too simple and said straightforwardly: " Wang Futing was smart and ran away the same day, which was beyond Li Dianzhong's expectation. In the end, he had no choice but to be silenced. "
Qi Changye nodded slowly: "Wang Futing can be the vice president, but Li Dianzhong can't remember the code book, it's quite reasonable."
"Li Dianzhong must have been in his early 20s when he died. It is normal for young people to be inexperienced. Even if he learned flying claws and learned some tricks from his uncle, the limit was this. In the end, the code book was sent , but was still silenced.”
"Maybe he was threatened. He can be sacrificed by those who engage in espionage, but it is impossible to allow him to run away privately." Qi Changye skipped the topic in one sentence and asked: "So, Li Dianzhong took it away from Zhang Xiaoming's place what?"
"I think it's probably something like a document, report or letter." Jiang Yuan took out Zhang Xiaoming's timetable summarized by the previous task force at this time and said: "Zhang Xiaoming has been sorting out the past few days. People, things and business in the factory, and then wrote many letters to some of my elders and friends. I took these letters back. Looking at it now, they are mainly for asking for advice, but..."
"Maybe Zhang Xiaoming got the spy out because of this?" Qi Changye's face turned rosy due to the foreplay.
Jiang Yuandao: "It's possible. Or did the spies lose their intelligence sources?"
Liu Jinghui took over Jiang Yuan's words at this time and said on his behalf: "Is it feasible to assume that this spy, or the spy's intelligence source, was the management of the factory or mimeograph factory back then?"
In fact, I said a lot just for this sentence.
The factory where Zhang Xiaoming stayed was not low-level. Twenty years later, some of the management there were always very successful—this was back to the path of rapid success again.
However, the scope is not limited to the dormitory area of Jianmenyuan.
"You can check it out." Qi Changye knew what they were worried about. He glanced at Huang Qiangmin next to him and said, "After so many years, it's hard to tell the specific situation."
