This trash can looks just like any other trash can, except that it has a well-hidden compartment at the bottom of the interior.
If you don't take out all the garbage and check carefully, you won't be able to find this compartment at all.
The security guard opened the compartment and found a miniature camera, a voice recorder, and several miniature lock-picking tools inside.
When everyone saw these things, they were still shocked.
I don’t know how much information Lao Zhang has passed on using these things.
The security personnel interrogated Lao Zhang overnight. Faced with the evidence, Lao Zhang could no longer argue and confessed the actual situation.
Lao Zhang's family is all in the country. He has been alone abroad for so many years, so it is inevitable that he feels lonely.
One day a year ago, he was on his day off and went out for a stroll.
Passing by a casino, Lao Zhang was bored and curious, so he went in to play a few games.
That day, he was lucky and won a small amount.
Having tasted the sweetness, Lao Zhang went to play a few more times during his rest time.
There are wins and losses, but the gains and losses are not big, so Lao Zhang just treats this activity as entertainment in his spare time and plays a few rounds whenever he wants.
Lao Zhang played there for about four or five months, and suddenly his luck exploded, and he won several big games in a row.
In the next two months, Lao Zhang won every time he played. Even the gamblers who often played there admired him and wanted to learn from him.
Lao Zhang was full of confidence and he even taught the gamblers the secrets to winning.
After hearing Lao Zhang's tips, the gamblers all gave him a thumbs up in admiration.
Old Zhang, who has been unknown for half his life, found his vanity greatly satisfied in front of the gamblers around him.
After that, Lao Zhang, who was full of confidence, began to increase his bets, and sure enough, he won several games in a row.
Lao Zhang thought that this was a good way to make quick money. He could take advantage of his good luck, win more, and save more.
His bets became bigger and bigger, but his luck left him and he started to lose. He lost several games in a row and lost all his previous winnings.
Lao Zhang felt guilty and decided not to play anymore.
But several gamblers who often played with him encouraged him to continue playing.
A gambler said, "You see, luck comes and goes. I lost so much some time ago, but things have been getting better these days. I won today, so I'll buy you a beer!"
Lao Zhang lost money and felt bad, so he went out for a drink with the gambler and they became familiar with each other.
The gambler called himself Mike. He was 43 years old, about the same age as Lao Zhang.
Mike works on a farm and likes to play a few games when he has nothing to do.
Although Lao Zhang wanted to stop gambling, once he got addicted to it, it would be difficult to quit.
Lao Zhang went to play again and lost again. He lost several games in a row and lost all the savings he had accumulated.
The mentality of a gambler is that the more he loses, the more he wants to make up for his losses, but Lao Zhang no longer has any money to gamble.
At this time, Mike generously lent money to Lao Zhang so that Lao Zhang could continue playing.
Lao Zhang continued to lose, and Mike continued to borrow.
After this happened several times, Lao Zhang, who was already losing all his money, took the initiative to ask Mike for a loan.
But this time, Mike didn't have the generosity he had in the past. He said embarrassedly, "How can you pay me back if you lose like this?"
Old Zhang solemnly promised that he would return the money to him once he recovered his money.
Mike asked Lao Zhang to write an IOU and include the amount of money he had borrowed from previous times.
Only then did Lao Zhang realize that he had borrowed a lot of money from Mike without realizing it, which was several years' salary.
Lao Zhang was even more eager to make up for his losses, so he would sneak out to gamble whenever he had time.
In this way, Lao Zhang fell into this abyss.
More than three months ago, Mike asked Lao Zhang to pay back the money, but Lao Zhang had no money.
At this time, Mike put forward a condition.
Let Lao Zhang give him the application materials we prepared this time, and the money will be written off.
Only then did Lao Zhang guess Mike's identity, and he flatly rejected Mike's conditions.
In a rage, Mike found a few people to hold Lao Zhang down and wanted to chop off Lao Zhang's hands. Lao Zhang was scared out of his wits.
Under such intimidation, Lao Zhang agreed to Mike's conditions.
Mike gave Lao Zhang a miniature camera, a voice recorder, and lock-picking tools, and taught him how to use them.
Lao Zhang told himself, just once!
He only did it this time to offset the money, and he would never do it again, and he would never gamble again!
In mid-July, Mike anticipated that we had prepared the application materials, and even if not, the general content had been formed, so he instructed Lao Zhang to take action within the next few days.
As a cleaner, Lao Zhang only has keys to enter and exit the building, but not keys to the office.
In the middle of the night, he sneaked into the building, used lock picking tools to open the office door and drawer locks, found the information, and took photos secretly.
He put these things away and sneaked out of the building. However, when he was locking the door, he was seen by Lin.
That night, Lao Zhang heard footsteps and was frightened. He looked over and saw the back of a woman running hurriedly towards the toilet.
The woman ran too fast, and it was just her back, so Lao Zhang couldn't recognize who she was.
Lao Zhang wasn't sure whether the woman had seen him, but to be on the safe side, he pretended to be sick and hid for several days.
The next day after getting the information, Lao Zhang gave the intelligence to Mike at the time and place they had agreed on in advance.
He originally wanted to return the camera and other things to Mike, but Mike suddenly took out some money.
"Keep these things, just in case you need them in the future." Mike stuffed the money into Lao Zhang's pocket. "It's a pleasure working with you, thank you."
Lao Zhang could understand the meaning of the words, Mike still wanted to cooperate in the future.
At that time, Lao Zhang didn't know whether he was possessed by a ghost or what, but he really left these things behind.
He was worried that these things would be discovered in the dormitory, so he hid them in the trash can. Unexpectedly, they were found anyway.
Liu Yongxian was heartbroken. "Old Zhang! Can't you see that from the moment you walked into the casino, a premeditated plot was already set against you!"
Lao Zhang said with regret: "I only did it this once, please forgive me! I will never make such a mistake again!"
Liu Yongxian said, "Lao Zhang, you've worked at the embassy for so many years, you know this isn't a simple mistake! All of us go through training before going abroad. Not only can we not do things like this, we can't even develop bad habits. If we do, they'll become a weakness for the enemy to attack us."
Old Zhang burst into tears at this time, "I just lost my mind for a moment..."
Liu Yongxian interrupted him, "Lao Zhang, if you make a mistake, you must take responsibility. I will report it to your superiors and have you return home to be dealt with."
As for that Mike, this is abroad and we have no right to do anything to him.
There are many people like Mike. They rack their brains to spy on our intelligence. Not to mention people in important positions, they even want to win over and corrupt people in ordinary positions like Lao Zhang and use them for their own purposes.
It is hard to guard against such people. Only by keeping ourselves sober and self-disciplined can we avoid being taken advantage of by them.
