My spy diary

Chapter 212 Intelligence (please vote)

[Today’s information has been refreshed. 】

[1. You met with the Chief of the Special High Section, Takagi Shinpei, today and obtained relevant information - Takagi Shinpei arrested Zhang Dengfei from the Party Affairs Investigation Office today and successfully uncovered the secret liaison station of the Party Affairs Investigation Office.]

It turns out they are from the same place.

After seeing this information, Zhang Yi finally figured out the identity of the person arrested today.

Apparently Zhang Dengfei put the radio under the child's stroller in the hope of getting away with it, and his wife was completely unaware of it.

This could have prevented his wife from being exposed due to nervousness, but he thought things were too simple and took chances. Now he was arrested by the Japanese and shamelessly became a traitor. He can only be said to have harmed others and himself.

[2. Today you met with Mizuno Jōichi, the second-class secretary of the Japanese Consulate in Nanjing, and obtained relevant information - the Japanese Emperor's special envoy Nomura Kichisaburo has arrived in Nanjing.]

This piece of information made Zhang Yi's eyes light up. No matter if he was the Emperor's special envoy, Nomura or a wild boar, he would just kill him.

It’s not like the so-called Emperor’s special envoys haven’t died before.

But that was 1932 years ago.

April 4th is what Japan calls "Tencho Day," the birthday of the Japanese Emperor.

That morning, Japanese Shanghai Expeditionary Army Commander Yoshinori Shirakawa organized a so-called "victory celebration" for the Japanese military and Japanese residents at Hongkou Park in the Japanese Concession in Shanghai.

Shirakawa personally presided over the conference. Those attending the event included the Emperor's special envoy, as well as Japanese Ambassador to China Shigemitsu Mamoru, Commander of the Third Fleet Yoshisaburo Nomura, Commander of the Ninth Division, Executive Director of the Japanese Overseas Residents' Commission, President of the Japanese Concession Chamber of Commerce, and more than a dozen other military and political figures.

However, just as the Japanese were feeling gloat over themselves and the celebrations were reaching their climax, a kettle bomb flew directly towards the front reviewing stand. With a deafening explosion, blood and flesh flew all over the reviewing stand, and there were wails of grief.

General Shirakawa was seriously injured and eventually died.

The Emperor's special envoy, the chief executive of the Japanese Overseas Chinese Affairs Commission, and the president of the Japanese Concession Chamber of Commerce were killed on the spot
The thigh of Japanese Ambassador to China Shigemitsu Mamoru was blown off, and the eyeball of the Third Fleet Commander Nomura was blown off.
A bomb flew towards the crowd, and the entire reviewing stand was either killed or injured, with no one spared.

And this Shirakawa Yoshinori was the highest-ranking Japanese military officer killed during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

After the explosion, international public opinion was in uproar, and the Japanese government and opposition were horrified...

The Nanjing National Government was also shocked. While they were still fearing that the Japanese would find further excuses to attack, Yun Bong-gil, a member of the "Korean Patriotic Group" who carried out the bombing, was arrested on the spot and took full responsibility.

Chang paid special attention to this explosion, which greatly inspired the Chinese people's anti-Japanese struggle and ambition and destroyed the enemy's prestige, and ordered Dai Chunfeng to find out the person behind the explosion.

Boss Dai did not disappoint Chang's expectations and soon found out that the mastermind behind the case was his sworn brother Wang Yaqiao.

Although Wang is a gang member, he has done things that many soldiers cannot accomplish in their entire lives.

The teacher once commented that he was "not careful about small matters, but not confused about big matters. He was not guilty of killing the enemy and made contributions in the fight against Japan."

Zhang Yi didn't know whether this Emperor's special envoy Nomura Yoshisaburo was the same person as the Nomura who lost his eyeball a few years ago, but it didn't matter, they were all going to die anyway.
[3. You went to the Japanese restaurant on the other side today and obtained relevant information - Li Shiqun and Kawashima Fangzi also met at the Japanese restaurant.]

When Zhang Yi saw this information, his eyes narrowed slightly. He could not believe that Li Shiqun, the traitor, had colluded with Kawashima Yoshiko.

Li Shiqun was born in an ordinary peasant family in Lishui, Zhejiang. His father died early, and he relied on his mother's support to be admitted to Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts, and later entered Shanghai University.

Shanghai University is a university established jointly by the Kuomintang and the Red Party. It is known as the "Cradle of Revolution" and many outstanding Red Party members taught here.

Influenced by the strong Red Party atmosphere, Li Shiqun joined the Red Party under the introduction of his classmates.

But unlike his other classmates who had devout beliefs, Li Shiqun was an opportunist. He felt that joining the Red Party would give him more room for advancement than joining the mature Fruit Party, allowing him to quickly rise to prominence and live a luxurious life like other classmates from wealthy families.

With such a speculative mentality, Li Shiqun began his acting career, and his "efforts" were soon rewarded. After gaining fame and reputation, Li Shiqun was sent to study at Moscow University.

Later, because of his outstanding performance, he was selected to enter the Soviet Special Police School, where he mastered all kinds of knowledge and skills required by an agent.

After returning to China, Li Shiqun joined the Red Party's Special Operations Group and served as a bodyguard for Comrade Wu Hao.

His cover identity at this time was the editor of "Social News", and his immediate superior was Ding Mocun, the special commissioner of the Party Affairs Investigation Office.

Lurking under the nose of the Kuomintang's big spy, Li Shiqun was full of confidence and was about to do something big, but he was arrested by the International Settlement Police Station in the second half of 28.

Later, his wife found the Green Gang leaders Ji Yun and Qingcai and they were released. Although he joined the Green Gang, Li Shiqun did not leave the Red Party at this time.

In 32, Li Shiqun was arrested again. This time, he was arrested by Ma Shaowu, a major spy from the Party Affairs Investigation Department in Shanghai.

After being tortured, Li Shiqun rebelled.

However, the cunning thing about this man, or we can say that his emotional intelligence is extremely high, is that he did not give out all the Red Party members who had connections with him at the Party Affairs Investigation Office, but protected them as much as possible. At the same time, he concealed the fact of his betrayal from the Red Party.

So for a long time, the Party Affairs Investigation Office felt that Li Shiqun was one of their own, and the Red Party could not guarantee 100% that he had betrayed.

Li Shiqun had a good plan. He thought he could play both sides and be a double agent, but he didn't expect that the Red Party would give him a task at this time to assassinate his "immediate boss" Ding Mocun.

Ding Mocun was also a traitor to the Red Party. He defected in 24 and joined the Guo Party.

As agents of the Party Affairs Investigation Office and in a superior-subordinate relationship, Li and Ding often worked together and played cards together for entertainment. Their relationship was no longer the same as before, so after receiving the task of assassinating Ding Mocun, he immediately told him everything.

After some planning, the two of them came up with a strategy of "using someone else's trick".

Li Shiqun reported to the Red Party that he was trying to instigate Ding Mocun to rebel, so they could avoid assassinating him first and instead take action against Ma Shaowu, the head of the Party Affairs Investigation Section in Shanghai.

This person had arrested Li Shiqun before and tortured him severely, so Li Shiqun hated this person to the core.

And this man had arrested many members of the Red Party's underground party and was a real executioner. By getting rid of this man, Li Shiqun could not only avenge himself and save the life of his buddy Ding Mocun, but also gain the trust of the Red Party. He could use the power of the Red Party's Special Operations Department to execute this man without arousing the suspicion of the Party Affairs Investigation Department. It could be said that he killed four birds with one stone.

Things went smoothly. Under Li Shiqun's arrangement, Ding Mocun asked Ma Shaowu to come out. The Red Party's special dog-hunting team, which had been lying in ambush, opened fire and killed Ma Shaowu. At the moment the gunshot rang out, Ding Mocun pretended to be shot and fell to the ground.

Li and Ding thought that the matter was over, but the sudden murder of the head of the Shanghai district made Xu Zengen, the head of the Party Affairs Investigation Office, very angry. After conducting extensive investigations, he believed that Li Shiqun and Ding Mocun were the most suspicious.

So they arrested the two men immediately.

Ding Mocun was a capable subordinate of the two Chen brothers and was quickly released on bail after his arrest, but Li Shiqun had no background and was directly escorted from Shanghai to Nanjing for interrogation.

He was arrested again and tortured again, but this time Li Shiqun dared not say what he had done even if he was beaten to death. If he didn't say it, he might still be alive, but if he said it, he would definitely die.

At this time, Li Shiqun's boss Ye Jiqing brought a large amount of jewelry to the lustful Xu Zengen. Later, Li Shiqun was released again and appointed as a member of the "Jinling Investigation Unit".

After being arrested and tortured several times, Li Shiqun was deeply traumatized. This opportunist firmly believed that only by possessing supreme power could he avoid being bullied by others. So after Shanghai and Nanjing fell, Li Shiqun, who was carrying out a covert mission in Nanjing, was frightened and quickly fled to Hankou, where he met Yoshiko Kawashima.

Li Shiqun was afraid that Japan would soon win a complete victory and occupy China. Being both afraid of death and extremely eager for power, he immediately considered leaving the Guo Party and joining the Japanese.

From then on, Li Shiqun used all the knowledge and skills he acquired from the special agent school, which were supposed to be used to deal with the Japanese, on his compatriots after becoming a traitor.

Silent all night.

The next morning, Zhang Yi tied a pack of explosives to himself, put on the clothes of a Japanese officer and went to Confucius Temple Park.

The streets of Jinling seemed particularly deserted and lonely in the early morning. Only the Chinese policemen in leggings were pacing in the cold wind. When they saw Zhang Yi in military uniform, they immediately bowed their heads respectfully from a distance, like mice seeing a cat.

Zhang Yi crossed the road expressionlessly and sat on a bench in the park.

However, there was no information in the bamboo hole under the seat, and he immediately realized that Mizuno Jōichi had broken his promise, or had given up his choice.

Just as Zhang Yi was about to leave in disappointment, a black car drove over and the figure of Mizuno Joichi appeared in the driver's seat.

He sat in the car expressionless and motionless, with his right hand in the inner pocket of his suit.

Needless to say, he was holding a gun.

Zhang Yi smiled faintly, opened the back door fearlessly, sat in, and asked:

"Where's the information?"

Mizuno Jōichi stared at Zhang Yi's face for a long time through the rearview mirror, and then looked around before saying:
"According to the latest intelligence, Qian Xinming has been appointed as the head of the Shanghai HK District, assisting the Special High Section in combating the undercover agents of the Secret Service in Shanghai. Shang Zhensheng has been appointed as the chief of staff of the Qingxiang Force."

"Qian should be heading to Shanghai on tonight's train."

"Thank you. I will do what I promised you. I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate again next time." Zhang Yi said as he was about to open the car door and get out.

"There won't be a next time. Since I provided you with information, I have already lost my motherland, just like losing my wife and children. So, I will not betray my country again."

Mizuno Jōichi slowly took out his right hand which was placed in the lining and pointed the gun at Zhang Yi.

"Can you give me my pistol back now?"

"Of course." Zhang Yi looked at the black muzzle of the gun, the smile on his face froze little by little, he pulled out Mizuno Jōichi's Nambu pistol from his waist and handed it over.

Taking the pistol, Mizuno Jōichi suddenly smiled sinisterly:
"Zhang Sang, you have fallen into the trap. As long as I catch you, I will have my revenge. I will take back my dignity as a man."

He pointed triumphantly at the military vehicles full of Japanese soldiers that passed by from time to time outside the window and sneered:
"How dare you wear the uniform of an imperial soldier and go out in public. If you dare to resist, I will beat you to a pulp if I shout."

Zhang Yi looked at him expressionlessly and sighed:

"Mizuno-kun, why are you doing this?"

As he spoke, he slowly tore open his coat, revealing the explosive pack on his chest.

Mizuno Jōichi's expression suddenly became dull.

Because Zhang Yi had the evidence, Mizuno felt guilty and did not report the incident. He wanted to get his gun back first and then find a way to control Zhang Yi. However, he did not expect the scenario to be completely different from what he imagined...

If he had known earlier, he would have called for help. A trace of regret flashed in Mizuno's eyes.

However, before he could react, Zhang Yi took off his pistol and suddenly pulled out a pistol with a silencer from his armpit and pointed it at his forehead.

Then he pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"puff"

The bullet left a bloody hole in Mizuno Jōichi's forehead. He stared at Zhang Yi in disbelief, moved his eyes, and fell on the steering wheel with his eyes open.

"I knew you Japs can't be trusted."

Zhang Yi put away his pistol, calmly pulled out the car keys, took out all the identity documents on Mizuno Jyouichi and put them in his pocket, then got out of the car, opened the trunk, dragged his body from the cab and stuffed it into the trunk, then drove away calmly.

Zhang Yi didn't expect that his first rebellion attempt would fail, but he had already made a backup plan.

Driving a car with the Japanese consulate's license plate on it, Zhang Yi could travel freely in the city. As long as he did not leave the city or go to any special agency, he would not be strictly inspected.

The car stopped far away from the Jinling Telephone Bureau. Zhang Yi got out of the car, walked into a public telephone booth and made a call.

Soon a thin figure walked out of the telephone office.

This person was none other than Zhang Yi’s number one “Japanese traitor” Lin Youcai – Ichiro Koyama.

Before the Secret Service withdrew, the Japanese spies detained in the spy agency were executed, and those who should be left behind were left behind.

Although Ichiro Koyama was rescued from prison by the Special Higher Police and passed the screening, he is not trusted and is currently assigned to work at the telephone bureau.

As soon as "Section Chief Zhang" got in the car, Ichiro Koyama immediately became reserved.

Zhang Yi didn't want to waste time talking to him, so he directly ordered:

"Prepare two sets of telephone bureau staff's ID and clothes immediately and cooperate with our operation."

"Yes." Ichiro Koyama agreed without hesitation.

Seeing that he was about to get off the car, Zhang Yicai asked:

"Where's Red Rose? What is she doing?"

"He has relied on a big shot in the Special Higher Police and now works in the telecommunications department." Ichiro Koyama said with envy.

"Really? The Telecommunications Department is a good place to go." Zhang Yi smiled and said, if there is Red Rose's assistance, the next operation will surely go smoothly...
