Even if wisdom is far away in China, people will find ways to find it - an Arabic proverb.

The person who wrote a letter to the central government code name "Butterfly" is all the starting point and end point of our group's work. The search and protection of "Butterfly" is the key to the work we do, because this is most directly related to the development and utilization of future information mastered by "Butterfly", and is of very direct and important significance to the Republic's decades of national destiny and even more far-reaching future.

I have always believed that although our work has been a little slower, fortunately, we strive to be safe, first control the scope of the insider and ensure confidentiality is foolproof, first reach a basic consensus among the superiors, and when making plans to eliminate external interference as much as possible, then concentrate all our strength to find the "butterfly" based on the clues you have mastered, protect him closely and allow him to play a better role. However, with the arrival of this bizarre and raid telegram, everything has changed, and time seems to be a bit too late. It's really a ghost!

I understand this, Li Chenfeng understands it, and everyone who saw the content of this telegram together understands it.

Because the matter is of great importance, Li Chenfeng immediately called Chen Guanshui who was on standby in the office by phone, and Zhang Tianqiao also went out to get in a few square stools. Everyone held a small-scale meeting in the reading room, and the next step must be arranged and deployed immediately.

The two thick wooden doors in the confidential reading room are tightly closed, and the excellent sound insulation performance makes the sound in the room unable to be revealed at all even if you are yelling.

When Chen Guanshui entered the reading room, he saw that we all looked serious and the room was filled with a solemn and uncomfortable atmosphere. He realized that things did not develop as he imagined, and that something unexpected must have happened. When he walked towards the empty space on the side, he glanced at me meaningfully, as if he said, "I am going to be in trouble again, right?"

I sat there and didn't move, as if I didn't see it, but I was thinking in my heart that it wasn't you who was unlucky, but we all were unlucky!

Chen Guanshui walked to the side of the position but did not sit down, but stood straight and whispered: "Team leader, I'm here!"

Li Chenfeng nodded, responded, and said, "You can introduce the relevant information about receiving this telegram to you here."

"Yes! At 11:28 this morning, I received an emergency notice from the department. We arranged for the comrades in charge of the Beijing Telegram Center. I found that at 11:00 a.m., the center received a civilian clear telegram sent to the mailbox 10086. According to the latest order from the department, I immediately reported it to the confidential duty room of the department, and immediately secretly activated the confidential isolation mechanism according to the plan. The department immediately notified me in secret through the confidential line..."

Chen Guanshui briefly reported the situation. Li Chenfeng and Bai Siwen listened seriously, and the atmosphere was heavy and depressing. I knew very well that every business leader in charge of intelligence had difficult scriptures in his stomach, but when he worked seriously, he always had expressionless expressions. The process of Chen Guanshui's report was very important, but more importantly, the matter came too suddenly. They also had to think about everything through the time to listen to the situation report. How did the matter happen? What should we do? What is the purpose to achieve in the end? This purpose is particularly sensitive because of the subtle differences in the perspective and position of everyone's thinking, and they have to be very cautious.

For example, Bai Siwen, who is in front of him, is on the surface a representative of government work, but it is rumored that he is actually a confidant in the front line of intelligence work of a certain Standing Committee member, and has an indescribable experience and background;

Team leader Li Chenfeng was sent by the First Office to be responsible for the entire work. The officials there were secretly safeguarded that all had a close relationship with him and even superiors and subordinates. Zhang Tianqiao's status was extraordinary, and being responsible for confidential management of secret files was her greatest confidence. As a member of the army, I always remembered the explanations of the director when he sent me here, and I was unwilling to lose the image of a soldier. Although I had to obey orders and obey orders to the team leader Li Chenfeng, I was kind to everyone in the team, but I had to know that my heart was as clear as a mirror and could not get too close to others, so that I would not make big mistakes.

Alas! How should I report to my superiors? Look, the content of this telegram directly points out the most confidential work in the country that we are doing in the top secret. From the worst case scenario, is it leaked? How did it leak? How many people will it involve? How much shock will it bring to the intelligence systems in the capital and the whole country? Only God knows!

I sat by the side and watched everyone's frowns and felt heartbroken for the two leaders.

Li Chenfeng must have a clear idea in his heart. He is an old man from Yidian. He has worked in the country's intelligence system for many years. What's wrong with it? This is a tricky thing!

At the end of the report, Chen Guanshui said: "We have already handled the Beijing Telegram Building. We have sorted out all the links and personnel involved in this telegram. Moreover, a building staff member who may have been exposed to the content of the telegram immediately asked for leave on the grounds that there was something at home and kept him confidential. We must ask the leader for instructions on what to do next."

Li Chenfeng frowned and looked at the file bag on the table next to him and said, "Is there only one person who is clearly documented in civil telegram?"

Bai Siwen's face looked even more ugly: "That's right, Comrade Chen Guanshui, you have to explain the situation more clearly."

Chen Guanshui added another report. The Beijing Telegraph Building is the first latest telegraph building in our country and is the general hub of state telegraph communications. The current monthly business exchange volume has reached more than 3 million copies. The ordinary telegraph sent to our 10086 mailbox is as inconspicuous as a drop of water in the vast sea of ​​telegraphs. The domestic civilian telegraph lines of the Beijing Telegraph Building use an automated Chinese decoder and teletype machine to report, which realizes the reception of telegraphs by tearing and drilling holes. The telegraph transmission system inside the building also uses transmission belts, small trams and air pressure conveying pipes to realize semi-automatic transmission of telegraph documents. This transmission method not only improves speed, but also is very safe in terms of confidentiality unless it is deliberately targeted by the predecessor.

Li Chenfeng raised his hand and interrupted Chen Guanshui's continued report, asking Bai Siwen: "Was that what needs to be kept confidential in the end is the comrade who discovered the existence of this telegram and reported it to the ministry immediately?"

Bai Siwen had a bitter face: "Yes! We sorted out and investigated the entire process of receiving and distributing reports in the building. The post and telecommunications department is carrying out work strictly in accordance with the system. The process of translating telegrams until sorting is carried out by machinery and equipment. Even if some of them involve manual processing, it is generally busy with the assembly line, and the probability of confidentiality happening is very small."

"And the political review work of the Beijing Telegraph Center has always been very strict, and the comrades working there should be trustworthy. So far, no espionage or leaks have been found there." Chen Guanshui added. Of course, as the main linkage bureau of the National Telecommunications Network Center and the National Telecommunications Network, they have always been very high-level units. The confidentiality work of cadres and employees is often carried out, and they are half of their own people. For no reason, they have no reason to suspect that other comrades' ethics of responsibilities and loyalty to the country is a very taboo thing in the circle.

This is a bit embarrassing. After a walk around, I had to send my own people to quarantine and decrypt because of the serious problem. If it spreads, it would be a big joke!

I understand Bai Siwen's attitude. He wants to quickly and safely turn over the page of the telegram. When he learned that someone sent a telegram to 10086, Li Chenfeng and Bai Siwen were very excited at the beginning. The optimistic guess was that "Butterfly" himself took the initiative to come out and contact us directly for some reason we didn't know, or because "Butterfly" suddenly remembered something about the major domestic and foreign incidents that were about to happen, and had to send us urgently at the risk of exposure, which would leave us more clues to find him. Because unlike throwing a message into the mailbox, sending a telegram must have a sender present and fill in the content, so we will make breakthrough progress in finding "Butterfly".

It's really a big trouble! I thought to myself that Bai Siwen should have wanted to be the "good news bird" that brings good news to the leaders. Unexpectedly, he personally led the team to work hard for a long time to bring back such a dangerous and unpredictable message. How could this be the deputy team leader who has been trying to show since he joined the group?

Chen Guanshui carefully put forward a suggestion: "Two leaders, we can arrange for people to carry out work in the center, pay close attention to whether there are any abnormal situations, as the key work I am responsible for, and do it well and do it in a practical way to ensure that there is no problem!"

This is a prudent opinion. Because the 10086 mailbox is the most important channel for us to contact "Butterfly", the post office, and now the telegraph office, must strengthen surveillance.

I understand Chen Guanshui's thoughts. This big brother, the director of the Ministry of State Security, was at a critical moment when the Ministry was dismissed from the construction of the public security department. He was selected to be so trustworthy and critical now. As a result, he accidentally dropped the chain during the "No. 5 Machine". Moreover, in the entire confidentiality measures of our group work, the external 10086 mailbox number is the weakest link in the entire confidentiality work chain. As the person in charge of this aspect, he is under great pressure.

As a result, Bai Siwen immediately expressed his opinion: "Hey, Director Chen's opinion is good. Let's just do the work of the Beijing Telegram Center first. We have more important things to discuss!" That tone seemed to have made a decision on behalf of the working group, and did not seek the opinions of the team leader Li Chenfeng.

No one knows what Li Chenfeng thinks, but compared with the content of the telegram, these are really not that important issues, and everyone’s main thoughts are not here. The reason why I still study and discuss them is just to leave time for everyone to think more carefully about the opinions to be expressed later.

Li Chenfeng subconsciously tapped the table with his knuckles, looked at me, then looked at Zhang Tianqiao, and finally looked at Bai Siwen and said:

"This should not be a big problem for the time being, so I will follow your opinion! Let's start discussing the next issue below. Director Chen will also stay and study with you. Comrade Siwen, what about your opinion?"

Everyone knows Li Chenfeng's thoughts. Next, he will touch on the root of the problem. He definitely doesn't want to leave any handle on this issue. It turns out that the core three-person group was his one-man show. Now Bai Siwen has added in, but Bai's opinion is still weak. It is not a big problem to carry out work. If he continues to be strong on such an important issue, it will go against the intentions of the superiors. Guoan is a government department. If Chen Guanshui is here, strengthening Bai Siwen's right to speak can make his strength at this moment relatively balanced and can subtly affect the resolutions of the meeting to be accepted by all parties.

The little fight between Li Chenfeng and Bai Siwen in the group was determined by the system. In other words, it was the butt that determines the head. But Li Chenfeng was Li Chenfeng and would never directly express his meaning, but threw the problem to Bai Siwen, asking for his opinions and cleverly replied to him. One just said that he had made an opinion without authorization, and the other was actively soliciting the other party's opinions, and the work style was immediately compared!

Bai Siwen said: "Team Leader Li, if you say yes, you don't have to ask for our opinions anymore! Come, Director Chen, sit, don't stand." Bai Siwen greeted Chen Guanshui and sat down before continuing: "Everyone has seen the content of the telegram just now, which is indeed beyond everyone's expectations. I was shocked when I saw it. From the content of the call, I personally think that this may be a challenge and an opportunity. In the final analysis, this has changed the situation and has brought new variables to our work. We must comprehensively analyze and judge in all aspects."

This sentence is full of fog and there is no specific content. Bai Siwen looks gentle and is also a master in terms of language. Although the consequences of this matter may be very serious, it is not complicated to analyze. But he must have an attitude when he expresses his opinion. He still goes around, but he loses points in his right to speak. I sat on one side and laughed secretly inside.

Li Chenfeng nodded: "Okay, Deputy Team Leader Bai, I understand what you mean. You tend to wait a little longer and combine information from all aspects before starting to take action." After that, he pointed at me and said: "Hey, Xiaolin, you are a young man, you accept new things faster and you also know the character of butterflies. Tell me your opinions and opinions!"

I was stunned when I heard this, and couldn't help but stand up. Li Chenfeng waved his hand and signaled me to sit down and say. I didn't sit down, but stood straight, so my thinking was clearer. I was a little confused for a moment - I was not prepared to speak, and suddenly, I was trying hard to organize language in my heart how to express my opinion?

Under everyone's eyes, my forehead was sweating slightly, and I was retribution. I just studied other people's speeches. Now I'm done. When I was anxious, I just said what I thought:

"Team Leader Li, my opinion is that when I suddenly received this telegram today, there are roughly four possibilities from the perspective of the sender. The first is the literal meaning. Someone found a butterfly and reported it to us. From the tone, this person may have some demands on us and exchanges some interests. The second is a trap against us, because Hu Wenhai has leaked our contact information to the Soviet revisionists. Will it be our enemy who forced us to show up in this way and steal our secrets through positive contact with us. The third possibility is that the butterfly is done. Will he have some purpose to contact us to a certain extent..."

Bai Siwen unexpectedly interrupted me and asked, "Staff Officer Lin, how could you think it was done by a butterfly? Is there any basis?"

I grabbed my head, and this idea was also a flash of inspiration. I don’t know how to express it clearly:

"Deputy Team Leader Bai, I also guessed based on my previous understanding of Butterfly. This person was a little... "I quickly flashed through my mind such adjectives as cynical, sensational, eccentric, unruly, and game in the world. I subconsciously felt that it was inappropriate, and finally fell on this sentence, "I like to joke, and in the words of the North, it is just to make fun of you. In the letter, he likes to express very serious things in a very easy way. If the serious consequences of the problem are not considered, as the party involved in the incident, the telegram gave me a bit ridiculous, well! Although it is inexplicable, it is this very familiar feeling."

Bai Siwen seemed a little excited, and his eyes were wide open behind the myopia mirror: "Hey, this is exactly what I want to say! Butterfly has been dodging and trying to take the initiative in his own hands. Zhou Tiantian, who we were chasing, did not find anything to do with butterflies at all, but it caused us to invest a lot of manpower and material resources. Why did he hide from us and dare not see people? This time it may be a trap he set. So what will happen in the future he provides? This accuracy is hard to predict! Oh, comrades, I don't say that to deny the importance of butterfly information. It's entirely from a work perspective..."

"I don't agree with your opinion. I feel that the situation is not optimistic, because everyone must have noticed where the telegram came from." Zhang Tianqiao, who had been silent, finally spoke. The meeting gradually revealed differences of opinions, and the meaning of tit-for-tat is getting stronger and stronger.

The telegram was sent out clearly on the paper: Post and Telecommunications Bureau, Jinjiang County, Haixi Province. The signature is also very simple, with only 5 words: Mu Fang, the Machinery Factory.

Ori River is on the west side of the strait, across the sea from Baodao. I also know why Zhang Tianqiao knew that "butterfly" was not there so accurately, because in a national senior confidential research room led by Yang Rui, a member of the school and a professor at Peking University, a comprehensive analysis and in-depth study on all the payment items on the "butterfly" letters, including minerals, dust, pollen, etc., etc., but it is very obvious that the "butterfly" was ruled out that it was at the beach when writing the letter because no salt was found on the letter.

In this case, such an important telegram sent from the forefront of the confrontation with the treasure island would have to deal with it with a more cautious and rigorous attitude.

My name is Lin Qianjun. I am very confused now. If this telegram is really a trap, then the problem will be really, very serious.
