My spy diary

Chapter 221 Mission Impossible (asking for monthly ticket)
With the assistance of Captain Ma, his brother-in-law, Qian Zhikang, deputy director of the police station, was successfully arrested, and counterfeit five-yuan banknotes, gold yuan coupons, UnionPay coupons, reserve coupons, military tickets, etc. worth about 150,000 yuan were seized from his residence.

After taking the man to the interrogation room for questioning, Zhang Yi immediately went to Boss Dai's residence at the Japanese Elementary School on Nanxiao Road in the Japanese Concession in Hankou to report on his work.

Starting in January, Boss Dai began to implement a plan he had been planning for a long time, which was to hold a large-scale agent training class to solve the serious shortage of professional agent talent.

Dai Chunfeng initially decided to name this special agent training class "Military Commission Special Training Class."

However, due to staffing issues, the Military Commission refused to recognize it when the formalities were being processed. Boss Dai was unable to issue a seal to the preparatory office, so he had to secretly carve a stamp. In his capacity as the director of the Central Police Officers School's School Affairs Committee, he named the training class "Central Police Officers School Special Police Personnel Training Class."

However, this move was strongly opposed by Li Shizhen, the Dean of Academic Affairs of the Central Police College. Li Shizhen was also a veteran of the Kuomintang and had always controlled the national police system. He was extremely dissatisfied with Dai Chunfeng's decision to undermine the Central Police College and threatened to not recognize any training courses organized by Dai Chunfeng in the name of the Central Police College and not issue any graduation certificates.

But Boss Dai still did his own thing and called the class the first special training class of the Central Police Academy.

Because the school was located in Linli County, the Secret Service Department internally called it the Linli Special Training Class. When recruiting students from outside, in order to conceal its identity, it was named the "Military Commission Transportation Technology Research Class."

Dai Chunfeng attached great importance to this training class and gathered almost all the elite agents of the Secret Service Department to train them, such as the deputy class teacher Yu Lexing, Xie Ligong,
The early instructors were Wang Chunwu, Lu Suichu, Wang Banglian, Xu Yongnian, Wu Jingzhong, etc. All of them were traitors of the Red Party who studied in the Soviet Union. This shows the quality of this training class...

When Zhang Yi arrived, Boss Dai was meeting with training class students at his residence.

The regulations for recruiting students to the temporary training class are extremely strict. In addition to strict requirements on culture, age, and physical condition, the most important thing is ideology and politics.

In order to prevent the Red Party from sending people to infiltrate, Boss Dai would personally meet with and call the roll of each student for examination and screening.

After sending the students away, Dai Chunfeng said to Zhang Yi with a smile:
"You've come at the right time. The problem of insufficient student enrollment has been basically solved. The school is expected to start in March. In addition to the three major departments of academic affairs, political training, and general affairs, we plan to set up two battalions, six squadrons, and a girls' squadron to manage it. You must be prepared to be an instructor."

The sources of students for this training class can be roughly divided into three aspects. The first is that they were selected from various stations across the country by the Secret Service. However, due to wartime transportation barriers, only more than 300 people were recruited from North China, Southeast China, Northwest China and other places.

Dai Chunfeng then turned his attention to Liang Ganqiao, the director of the Secret Service's Zhengzhou office. Liang Ganqiao had recruited more than 800 unemployed and exiled students in Zhengzhou, including graduates from Tsinghua University, Peking University, and Fudan University.
Liang graduated from the first class of Whampoa Military Academy and studied in the Soviet Union. After returning to China, he served as a senior cadre of the Fuxing Society.

Because he was unwilling to work under Boss Dai for long, he wanted to take advantage of the chaos of the Anti-Japanese War to start a new business, using these 800-plus students as starting capital. As a result, Boss Dai sent Shen Xishan to forcibly take all the students to Linli. The two of them fell out directly, and Liang ran to a certain Hu, the King of the Northwest, to make a living.

As a result, just as he was helping Hu to set up the 200th branch of the Central Military Academy, Boss Dai called his good brother Hu and asked for all the female students recruited in Changsha, bringing the number of female students in Linli to more than .

"Director, I heard that the school has majors in intelligence, operations and blasting, military intelligence staff, military guerrilla warfare, as well as telecommunications and accounting. My subordinates only know the operations major and dare not say they are proficient in it, for fear of misleading the students." Zhang Yi said modestly.

Dai Chunfeng shook his head and said:
"The major is not the most important thing. The most important problem that needs to be solved now is that most students don't want to be spies, especially those delicate female students."

"Yu Lexing suggested that they should first go through the procedures of joining the secret service, use group discipline to restrain them, and then instill anti-red propaganda after they join the army, so that they can be tamed and become tools of loyalty to the leader."

"So you have to check their letters, control their speech and actions, and dig out the Red Party lurking among them. You have to take responsibility for this matter."

Zhang Yi knew that some of these students came here to serve the country, some came here to make a living, and some even came here through fraud.

After entering the training class, especially after meeting Dai Chunfeng, they realized that this was not a "Military Commission Transportation Technology Research Class" with provided food and accommodation, but a spy training class. They all regretted their decision, but can a sheep escape from a wolf's den?

"Yes." Zhang Yi nodded and reported the matter of Deputy Director Qian Zhikang of the police station selling counterfeit currency.

Dai Chunfeng said worriedly: "The Japanese have evil ambitions. Not only did they issue and use military bills, UnionPay coupons, and reserve coupons in the occupied areas to absorb materials and sabotage the financial sector, but now they have even infiltrated Wuhan. What is the result of the interrogation?"

"Qian Zhikang has just been imprisoned. It will take time for him to confess."

Boss Dai raised his eyebrows and nodded:
"We'll talk about the counterfeit currency after the interrogation results come out. I'm in a hurry to call you back because of the spies hiding in Wuhan."

"The military airport in Hankou was sabotaged several times by spies, and the pilots of the Soviet Union's aid aviation team were also attacked by Japanese spies many times. The president ordered that the case be solved within a time limit."

As he spoke, Dai Chunfeng's face suddenly darkened:
"According to the intelligence provided by the Red Party, a Japanese special intelligence agency called the 'Matsu Agency' has already infiltrated Hankou, but we have no idea where they are."

"Wuhan District is a good-for-nothing, and Zhang Zhenguo is an even better-for-nothing!"

As the temporary capital, Wuhan has strong military, police and legal forces, but these forces cannot be used by the Secret Service.

The director of the General Police Department was Cai Mengjian. It was his subordinates who arrested the head of the Red Party’s Special Operations Department, “Hua Mou Ren” who performed magic tricks on the streets.

This man is known as the most dangerous traitor in the history of the Red Party. If the "Three Heroes of Longtan" had not taken action, the Red Party's headquarters and leaders in Shanghai would have been wiped out.

As for military intelligence, the person in charge, Zhang Zhenguo, was Chen Tumu's man. He relied on Chen Tumu as his backer and did not buy into Dai Chunfeng at all. He firmly opposed the Secret Service's interference in his intelligence system in Wuhan.

Therefore, it was Zhang Zhenguo's intelligence system, rather than the Secret Service, that cooperated with the Eighth Route Army Office in Wuhan.

(The person in charge of intelligence work at the Eighth Route Army Office was the current Secretary-General, Mr. Cha. His name came from the fact that he gave tea to Mr. Cha.)
"Loose mechanism?"

Seeing Zhang Yi thinking, Dai Chunfeng suddenly smiled strangely and said:

"Start with the Qian Zhikang case and see if you can uncover the Japanese spies behind it. Room A will also provide you with intelligence."

When Zhang Yi heard this, he immediately realized that Dai Chunfeng had either planted a traitor in Zhang Zhenguo's intelligence system, or had planted his own people in the Red Party office.

trial room.

Qian Zhikang was in his forties. Long-term pampering made him look plump and white. However, at this moment he had been tortured beyond recognition and was in a semi-comatose state. The plainclothes police whip kept whipping him, and he made intermittent miserable cries.

Zhang Yi walked in accompanied by Monkey and Qian Xiaosan, looked him over and said sarcastically:
"You guys underestimate our Director Qian, change the iron whip, or use electric shock if that doesn't work."

Upon hearing this, Qian Zhikang, who had his eyes closed, shuddered all over, opened his eyes, gasped for air, and said with trembling lips: "I confess!"

"Very good. A man of insight is a wise man. Director Qian, tell me, where did you get your counterfeit money from?"

"It's all my fault that I was bewitched for a moment and fell for the trick of the thief Jin Magao." "Jin Magao? Who is he?"

"Well, he is a tea merchant in my jurisdiction." As Qian Zhikang narrated intermittently, the case finally became clear.

It turned out that the tea merchant Jin Magao suddenly approached his backer, Deputy Director Qian, some time ago and reported that his competitor, a businessman named Liu, was secretly hoarding and smuggling counterfeit currency. Director Qian immediately ordered the arrest of Liu and seized counterfeit five-yuan currency worth more than 100,000 yuan from his residence.

Director Qian thought he had made a great contribution by digging out the Japanese spy behind the businessman surnamed Liu, so he immediately began to interrogate Liu. However, he did not expect that Liu had no idea that the counterfeit money appeared in the warehouse, and he died under torture.

Since the person was dead, the case could not be investigated further. However, the clever Deputy Director Qian Zhikang was not satisfied with swallowing up the property of the businessman named Liu, and he started to think about counterfeit currency.

What he didn't know was that the Japanese army originally thought that by choosing the smaller denomination of 5 yuan to make counterfeit banknotes and putting them on the market, it would not easily attract the attention of the Kuomintang authorities, nor would it easily arouse the bosses' vigilance against counterfeit banknotes.

However, after these counterfeit 5-yuan notes were urgently produced in Japan and shipped to China, the Japanese army discovered that this 5-yuan legal tender had long been invalidated.

Not to mention the Kuomintang authorities, even ordinary people are unwilling to use this kind of currency.

Following the principle of "it's tasteless to eat, but a pity to throw it away", Director Qian treated these things that no one cared about as treasures, and used the power in his hands to spread them in his jurisdiction and make a profit from them.

After hearing what he said, Zhang Yi immediately realized that this so-called tea merchant Jin Magao was particularly suspicious. Perhaps this person was the Japanese spy lurking in Hankou.

"Where does Jin Magao live? And what does he look like?" Zhang Yi asked while asking Monkey to find a portrait artist.

"He lives in the French Concession. I don't know where exactly."

"This man is in his thirties. He is short, fat and strong, with a square face and brows that are splayed outwards."

"anything else?"

"I thought about it, and I was right. He has a mole under his eyelid."

The Chinese detective in the French Concession had long been turned against the Secret Service. Zhang Yi immediately said to Monkey:
"Take a few people into the French Concession and have them assist in the search. If the man escapes, immediately draw a portrait and issue a city-wide wanted notice."

"Yes."

On the other side, Liu Qitian, the head of the Red Party’s intelligence team, came out of the Wuhan Garrison Command with a frustrated look on his face.

Following Cha Gong's orders, he reported intelligence on Japanese spies to the theater commander and chief of staff, reminding the Guo Party to strengthen their precautions. However, he was turned away. After waiting for a long time, only one guard came out and said: We have already made arrangements, so you Red Party members don't have to worry about it.

Liu Qitian had no choice but to find Zhang Zhenguo, the director in charge of intelligence work in the war zone.

After the two met and exchanged greetings, Liu Qitian said: "According to the intelligence we obtained from the Northeast, the head of this Matsu Agency is called Okamura Yoshimasa, who is mainly engaged in economic sabotage and special operations behind enemy lines, and the main economic means is counterfeit currency."

"In addition, the Song Agency will recently secretly send a lieutenant colonel named Ye Zhen from the Northeast to infiltrate Wuhan to contact the Japanese spy Jin Magao who we have been pursuing and assist his team in its work."

"Thank you." After listening to the intelligence report, Zhang Zhenguo smiled and said:

"I will meet with Police Chief Cai to strengthen patrols and security in various places."

As he spoke, he changed the subject and said meaningfully:
"I, Zhang, have long heard of your Secretary Li Chagong's great name. He is also a great man. A strong general has no weak soldiers under him. He was able to get intelligence from the Northeast.
Don't worry, we won't harm you. Jointly resisting Japan is the general situation. As long as it is beneficial to the anti-Japanese war, I, Zhang, will support it. However, I can't say how others treat you. "

Liu Qitian naturally understood the hidden meaning. The "others" naturally referred to Dai Chunfeng and the Secret Service Department.

He said thank you and said goodbye.

After returning to the office, he immediately reported the whole process to Mr. Cha.

Mr. Cha had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his thick glasses shone with wisdom. He asked carefully about the report and thought:
"The principle of the organization is to mobilize and organize the masses. Jin Magao has escaped the pursuit of the military and police several times. He is extremely cunning. We must call on the public and businesses to report him. No matter how cunning he is, he cannot escape the vast ocean of the people."

Liu Qitian nodded in agreement. He had been engaged in counter-espionage operations while lurking in Nanjing and successfully dug out a Japanese spy lurking in the underground organization. He said at this moment:
"Mr. Cha, I suggest that we take the initiative to capture the person and then hand him over to them. Every time we report the intelligence, they fail to capture the person. I really don't trust their execution ability."

Mr. Cha nodded, thought for a while, and said:

"How about this, hold a small meeting and listen to what everyone has to say."

A meeting of the six-member group was then held to listen to everyone's opinions.

At the meeting, Liu Qitian once again put forward his opinion, which was immediately seconded by others.

There was only one person who was smoking silently, remaining silent, and looking a little absent-minded.

This person was called Li Chunxiang, and he was responsible for the intelligence exchange mechanism with the Guo Party’s intelligence agencies every other day.

He is usually reserved and seldom speaks, but he is efficient and gives people the impression of being smart and capable.

Seeing that he was silent, Cha Gong said, "Chunxiang, tell me what you think."

Li Chunxiang silently put out the cigarette in his hand, looked around at the people present, and said calmly:

"We don't have the power to enforce the law, so I think it's better to be cautious and think more carefully to avoid unnecessary conflicts with them."

Upon hearing this, Cha Gong glanced at him and, with his intuition as an old agent, felt that this man was a little abnormal, but it was not easy to say much. He decided to pay more attention to him and observe him further, and then announced the adjournment of the meeting.
