Features: Smiley, working in the security department, is assigned to talk to the Foreign Office official Fenner because someone has reported that he had been involved in the British Communist Party in the past. During the conversation, Fenner gives a good impression to Smiley. Smiley clearly tells him – this is just a routine conversation, and it’s over here, don’t worry. However, the next day, Fenner died, appearing to be a suicide, leaving a note saying his career was over. Smiley couldn’t figure it out.
