My spy diary

Chapter 216 Intelligence
Zhang Yi flipped down from the eaves of a house in the distance, jumped into a quiet alley, threw the old clothes into a trash can, and walked out of the alley as if nothing had happened.

At this moment, no one could recognize him as the former rickshaw driver.

At this moment, Zhang Yi saw Japanese expatriates in groups of three or four walking towards the old lady's residence. A crowd of onlookers had already gathered in front of her house.

Zhang Yi pretended to be curious and squeezed in, only to see the door was open and the old lady's body was lying in the yard.

Facing the pointing and quipping of onlookers, a patrolman with an armband with the word "Household Registration" on his arm was explaining.

"The anti-Japanese elements did not even spare our overseas Chinese from the Great Japanese Empire. They killed many of them."

"Punish the murderer severely and protect overseas Chinese."

"Kill all the anti-Japanese elements."

"Kill all the Chinese."

The Japanese expatriates who had looked sympathetic just now immediately became indignant and started clamoring under the instigation of the patrol police.

Zhang Yi sneered. At this moment, he really wanted to throw a grenade at these guys and send them to see the God of Hell as soon as possible.

The patrolman was very satisfied with his operation. He waved his hand and asked two people to bring a bracket to carry the old lady's body away. He waved his hand and said:

"We will catch the murderer soon. Don't go out at night during this period. Okay, let's go."

As the patrol officers left, the people who were watching the excitement dispersed and the surroundings gradually returned to calm.

Zhang Yi glanced expressionlessly at the firefight scene on the street which had been cleared long ago, wrapped up his clothes, and left calmly.

After returning to the spare safe house, Zhang Yi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Monkey, Qian Xiaosan and Wang Gaoke had arrived safely there.

The place they are living in now is rented from a traitor. Not far away is the officers' dormitory of the Japanese Special High Police. It is truly a dark place under the lamp.

"Section Chief, you're finally back. We've made the Japanese devils so chaotic that they would never have thought we were right under their noses."

Zhang Yi smiled, glanced at his watch, and said:
"It's still a few hours before dawn. Let's hurry up and eat something and get some sleep. We'll go our separate ways when the sun rises."

"Wang Gaoke went to the contact in disguise and tried to find out the whereabouts of Nomura Yoshisaburo, the special envoy of the Japanese Emperor."

"Monkey and Qian Xiaosan, with the help of Xiaoshan Ichiro, you two installed a bug on the telephone in the Special High Section dormitory."

"Okay, now we take turns to keep watch. I'll be the first."

As Zhang Yi spoke, he took out a grenade, tied the pull ring with a rope and hung it behind the door. He loaded the bullet and sat in a chair with his eyes closed to rest.

Qian Xiaosan, Monkey and Wang Gaoke only then felt physically tired. From today's meeting to the battle to the evacuation, several hours had passed. Their nerves had been tense and they dared not slack off at all. Only now could they get some sleep.

Zhang Yi, on the other hand, had already closed his eyes and started receiving today's intelligence.

[Ding, congratulations, you have successfully killed NPC No. 1, and you will be rewarded with 200 experience points. The current experience points for a successful kill are 23000]

[Today’s information has been refreshed]

[1. You met with Takagi Shinpei today and obtained relevant information: Japanese cryptographer Saburo Ito will arrive in Jinling in three days.]

After seeing this information, Zhang Yi sneered. What kind of cryptography expert is this? He is just here to get killed.

[2. You passed by the Bank of China today and obtained relevant information - Yamamoto Kenzo, director of the Ninth Research Institute of the Japanese Army, also passed by here. He was investigating and studying the currency circulation information of the legal currency.]

Study the currency circulation intelligence of legal tender?
Zhang Yi raised his eyebrows. Could it be that Yamamoto Kenzo was investigating the circulation of legal currency in order to commit counterfeiting?

As far as he knew, as early as the Battle of Shanghai, Kuomintang soldiers had found invalid currency in the pockets of killed Japanese soldiers when they were cleaning the battlefield.

Not only are there banknotes issued by the China Colonial Bank that were invalidated after Yuan Shikai came to power in 1911, but there are also regional currencies that were only circulated in some regions during a certain period, and even some old versions of the US dollar and British pound that have been invalidated.

When this information was reported to the Secret Service, everyone found it baffling. They thought the Japanese army was trying to use counterfeit and waste currency to buy up military supplies as a stopgap measure and disrupt China's financial market. However, because it was waste currency, no one took it seriously and the matter was eventually dropped.

Now that Yamamoto Kenzo has set his sights on the French currency, Zhang Yi immediately realizes that the other party is plotting something big.
Silent all night.

The next day, Wang Gaoke came back from the meeting with accurate news.

"Chief Zhang, according to Lao Er (Zhan Lao Er), the Emperor's special envoy Nomura Yoshisaburo is staying at Jingyuan...

In order to entertain him, the Japanese consulate and the garrison will hold a grand performance at the Jinling Grand Theater tonight. I heard that many traitors have been invited. The purpose is to promote the co-prosperity of East Asia. "

"Jingyuan?"

Zhang Yi raised his eyebrows. This place covers a vast area, with high walls and towering trees. It is an officer's guesthouse. Although it is open to the public, it is impossible for anyone other than the Japanese or traitors to enter. Moreover, Jingyuan is divided into the inner garden and the outer garden. The inner garden is the high-end residence of the high-ranking officials of the devils. It is heavily guarded. Even the Japanese cannot enter without a special pass.

As soon as he explained the situation, Qian Xiaosan immediately said:

"Then we will start at the Jinling Grand Theater and catch all the Japanese and traitors in one fell swoop."

Monkey shook his head and said, "It's not appropriate. We just made the Japanese go crazy. Now in order to protect Nomura Yoshisaburo's safety, the Japanese military police and the Special High Section must be racking their brains and conducting strict inspections. Besides, time is too tight. There is no time to sneak in in advance."

"Then what do you think we should do?" Qian Xiaosan asked immediately.

The monkey looked at Zhang Yi and said:
"Or we can ambush him on his way to the theater."

Zhang Yi did not comment and asked Wang Gaoke: "Do you have a photo of Nomura Yoshisaburo?"

"No." Wang Gaoke shook his head and said:
"He can't draw a portrait. Due to his status, he only saw this person once from a distance. However, Nomura's features are very obvious. He is blind in one eye. For the sake of appearance, he wears a fake eye."

Hearing this, Zhang Yi immediately realized that Nomura Yoshisaburo was the man who survived Wang Yaqiao's assassination attempt a few years ago.

He nodded and said, "According to the original plan, Monkey, pay attention to monitoring the phone calls in the Special High Section dormitory. Qian Xiaosan, go investigate the road from Jingyuan to the theater. Wang Gaoke, you go outside the theater and find a way to find out the Japanese arrangements."

"Everyone must be careful when going out."

Zhang Yi said this as he took out a few suicide buttons filled with potassium cyanide.

"I don't need to tell you what to do once you're arrested, right?"

"Yes." A hint of determination flashed across their brows. They took the buttons and nodded solemnly.

This business is just that simple sometimes, once you are caught, your loyalty is questioned.

At that time, a choice must be made between heroic sacrifice and surrender...

In an independent courtyard in the inner garden of Jingyuan, the window is half open and a string of Edo wind chimes is swaying slightly.

The Emperor's special envoy, Kichisaburo Nomura, looked to be over fifty years old. At this moment, he was sitting on a soft couch, reaching out to take the snacks he brought from Tokyo from the box in front of him and putting them into his mouth.

The scent of cherry blossoms mixed with the sweetness of red beans slowly bloomed between his lips and teeth. He smiled comfortably and contentedly, picked up an eyeball from the stone box next to him and put it on. He forced a smile on his ferocious face and looked at the head of the Special High Section, Kitayama Tsune, the head of the Special Operations Section, Takagi Shinpei, and the head of the Intelligence Section, Haino Keiji, who were standing in front of him.

"I heard that there are anti-Japanese elements active in Jinling City. Is that true?"

Bei Shanheng's expression changed slightly, and he bowed and said:
"Sir, these are just a few fish that slipped through the net. Our Special High Police will catch them all in no time."

"Really?" Nomura Kichisaburo rubbed his eyes, revealing a trace of greed and coldness:

"I have a different view from Doi-Yuan. I do not agree with his hypocritical diplomatic rhetoric of using China to control China. We must not only kill all anti-Japanese elements, but also severely punish those Chinese who do not obey. Only by killing them all can everything in China belong to our Great Japanese Empire."

"Ha Yi, what you said is absolutely right." Bei Shan Heng agreed, and after thinking for a moment, he said:

"Sir, we are here today to discuss your protection. For your safety."

Before Kitayama Heng could finish his words, he was rudely interrupted by Nomura Yoshisaburo, and his face became distorted in an instant.

"Kitaya, you fat guy boasted that your Special High Section is omnipotent. Could it be that someone in our Great Japanese Empire wants to assassinate me? Could it be that Wang Yaqiao has come back to life?"

When this name was mentioned, Yoshisaburo Nomura felt so angry that his teeth itched. If it weren't for Wang Yaqiao, he wouldn't have become the horrible person he is today.

"Sir, although your itinerary is strictly confidential, I am afraid of unexpected situations." Bei Shanheng glanced at him and bowed:
"To be honest, during today's security check, we found that an actor in the theater was impersonated by someone else. This person committed suicide out of fear of punishment during our arrest, but no one can guarantee whether he has accomplices."

"Really? Someone from the Military Control Commission?"

"I don't know yet, but judging by their tactics, it doesn't seem like it's the Red Party... We have already taken control of all the actors in the theater."

"Detain their families first. When the performance is over, take them all to the Special Higher Police for severe interrogation. If no results can be obtained during the interrogation, execute them along with their families." Nomura Kichisaburo ordered expressionlessly.

"This"

"The performance is not important, what is important is the order." Nomura Kichisaburo smiled playfully:
"Mr. Beishan, do you know when I like Jinling the most?
Night, haha, the city at night doesn’t need the police, because it doesn’t need rules and order, this is the real look, when the sun rises, all the evil will disappear completely, haha, maybe there will be another good show tonight. "

"Okay, tonight's performance will go on as usual. I'll send a substitute. If there are really anti-Japanese elements who are not afraid of death, we can catch them all in one fell swoop." A barely perceptible smile flashed across Nomura Yoshisaburo's lips.

"Hai."
