My spy diary

Chapter 223 Mission Impossible (seeking monthly ticket)
"action."

As Zhang Yi gave the order, the plainclothes officers had clear division of labor and walked up the stairs cautiously and vigilantly, slowly arriving at the door of Jin Magao's residence.

A plainclothes officer stepped forward and put his ear to the door. Seeing that there was no movement in the room, he took out a piece of wire from his pocket, poked the door lock lightly a few times, pried open the door of the room easily, and then sneaked in.

Inside the house, a light was dim, and the filament of the old, dusty bulb made a crackling sound, as if it would go out at any moment.

In the simple room, there was a small table in the main hall. On the table was a jar of wine, half a roast chicken, and a few cold side dishes. It looked very rich.

But at this moment, the room was in a mess, and the owner and guests of the room seemed to have just experienced a drinking party. They seemed to be drunk, with their heads hunched over the table.

The plainclothes officer with a gun stepped forward and subdued the two drunk men, and was shocked when he got the talent.

The two drunkards, who were reeking of alcohol, were already cold all over, with traces of blood at the corners of their mouths. After plainclothes police checked, they found that their necks had been broken.

"Chief, it's not Jin Magao." A plainclothes officer put the body down and looked at it carefully. The lifeless face had eyes full of fear, and he died with his eyes open.

It is obvious that the Japanese spy Jin Magao, under the surveillance of the intelligence department's secret agents, openly played a trick of using someone else's trick.

Without Zhang Yi's order, Monkey waved his hand and said, "Search every room, carefully, not leaving out even a tiny bit or a corner."

The plainclothes officers were rummaging around the room, making ping-pong noises. Zhang Yi paced around the room, looking around, and fixed his eyes on the plainclothes officer from the Intelligence Department.

"Where are the people? Is this what you mean by everything is under control?"

"This..." The plainclothes officer's eyes flickered, and he glanced at Zhang Yi vigilantly, with an expression of disbelief.

Facing Zhang Yi's sinister eyes, the plainclothes officer shuddered all over and was speechless for a long time. Suddenly, his eyes rolled and he said, "Chief Zhang, could it be that your operations department leaked it?"

He couldn't even finish his words. The Japanese spy had been under their surveillance the entire time. Even if he escaped midway, it would be their responsibility.

"When did the waiters who served wine and food go in and when did they leave?"

The plainclothes officer from the Intelligence Department thought, "Half an hour? It should be. They went up for a while and then left. Everything was normal at the time. Who would have thought of that?"

Zhang Yi's eyes fell on the telephone in the corner of the room whose line had been cut short, and he shouted:
"Everything is normal? Why didn't you question the servant who left? Why didn't you contact the landlord and the patrolman to verify the situation in the house?"

"Section Chief Zhang, you can't say that. The target was discovered by the Red Party. We were notified and came to take over. There were also people from the War Zone Intelligence Department involved. Who knows..."

"Fuck, you still dare to quibble?" Qian Xiaosan rushed up and slapped him, cursing:
"You idiot, as long as you check with the landlord or call the bureau to ask, you will know that the target residence has a telephone.
Then it would be unreasonable for the target to go downstairs and call to order drinks and food.
Maybe they have already discovered that they are being monitored and are thinking about how to get away. But you, an idiot, don't know that you have been exposed and are still gloating about it. People like you will die on the battlefield without knowing how."

The plainclothes officer was scolded by Qian Xiaosan so much that his face turned red and he lowered his head like an ostrich.

"Chief, there are signs of movement under the bed in the bedroom. I guess the Japanese spy may have hidden weapons there before."

"Chief, a radio was found in the kitchen sink. It's flooded."

"Chief, there are ashes in the brazier in the other room, which look like burnt documents and photos."

The plainclothes officers who were conducting the search reported one after another, but Zhang Yi turned a deaf ear to them.

He looked carefully at the layout of the room, wondering how the Japanese spy Jin Magao discovered that he had been exposed.

Did the Red Party investigators or intelligence officers who were monitoring the situation reveal their identities and were discovered by the other party, or did someone tip off the other party?

He fixed his eyes on the phone and sneered:

"It is curfew time now. They can't escape. Immediately notify the gendarmerie and police station and start a city-wide search within five kilometers."

"Leave a couple of men to assist in the search, and the rest of you follow me."

Zhang Yi's destination was the telephone office.

Although automatic switches have become popular in Shanghai and do not require so many operators, Wuhan telephones still use manual transfers.

In the telephone exchange, accompanied cautiously by the duty manager, Zhang Yi and his gang entered the switchboard with murderous intent.

He ignored the commotion and whispers among the operators, wrote the words "Hankou Dazhimen" on a small blackboard, and then asked the operators wearing headphones:

"Who's in charge of this area? Did anyone get through around 10 tonight?"

The operators looked at each other, and no one said a word.

Qian Xiaosan grinned and took out a pistol from his arms.

Zhang Yi glared at him and said again:

"We have been ordered to capture a Japanese spy lurking in the city. This call is very important to us."

As soon as he finished speaking, a female operator with pigtails raised her hand.

Zhang Yi asked: "Are you responsible?"

The female operator nodded.

"Are there any records?"

The operator flipped open the notebook on the table and replied, "There are a total of five calls coming in and out at this time."

"The number 58233 made three calls, and the destinations were the Rising Sun Restaurant, Hu's Roast Duck Restaurant, and Hankou Hospital."

Zhang Yi nodded. This was the same number that the Japanese spy Jin Magao used to call the grocery store.

"There are two phone calls for the transfer, one for 58236 and one for 58244."

58244 is exactly the telephone number of the Japanese spy Jin Magao’s residence.

"Where did the call come from? Can you determine its location?"

The female operator thought for a moment and said, "One of them is a public phone, location."

As she spoke, she looked through the records, walked to the map next to the blackboard, hesitated for a moment, pointed to a location and said, "It should be here, at the intersection of Huimin Street."

After these words were spoken, although Zhang Yi's face showed no emotion, he felt a chill in his heart.

Because this location was near the Secret Service's Hankou Office. Needless to say, someone tipped off Jin Magao in advance through this public phone, which led to the failure of the arrest.

Coming out of Jin Magao's residence, a plainclothes officer came to report: "Section Chief, we just caught four suspicious individuals in the outer encirclement. Two of them were from the War Zone Intelligence Department and have been released. The other two are from the Red Party."

"Have you checked your identity?"

"I checked. They said they were investigators from the Red Party Wuhan Office."

"Then let him go."

"Chief, this is the Red Party." The plainclothes officer had a complicated expression.

"We are still in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. As long as they are fighting against Japan, we will treat them equally and release them." Zhang Yi said firmly.

"Yes." The plainclothes officer did not dare to question any more and ran away quickly.

Zhang Yi shook his head helplessly.
Ten minutes later, Zhang Yi, Monkey, Qian Xiaosan and several plainclothes officers arrived at the intersection of Huimin Street.

This is a long and narrow street with only one street lamp at the intersection. At this moment, the street is empty, except for the brightly lit three-story building not far away. It is the headquarters of the Secret Service Bureau's Hankou Office.

Zhang Yi stood by the phone booth and looked around. Qian Xiaosan asked in confusion:
"Chief, this traitor didn't dare to use the office's phone. He must have known that the internal phone was tapped. There were few pedestrians at night, so it would be difficult to find witnesses."

Zhang Yi did not answer his question. He looked around and finally pointed to a snack bar on the right corner with a light on, and said, "Let's go over and ask."

However, as soon as they pushed open the half-open door, they realized that something had happened.

The smell of blood hit me in the face.

The house was in a mess, with tables, chairs, pots, pans and utensils scattered everywhere.

An old man with white hair and in his twilight years fell in a pool of blood, with a horrifying wound on his neck.

As the monkey surveyed the room, he said, "The murderer killed the victim with one blow. There are no other wounds on the victim's body. The murderer is obviously well-trained."

"He rummaged through boxes and drawers and deliberately took all the money from the cash box in the drawer. He must have deliberately disguised it as a robbery and murder."

"He must have seen something he shouldn't have seen, or the person who called and he knew each other." Zhang Yi nodded with a serious expression. The murderer's cruelty was chilling.

"Let's go, it's time for us to meet Section Chief Yang."

At this moment, the atmosphere in Yang Rong's office in the Intelligence Department was depressing.

Zhang Yi told about the failed arrest and said calmly:
"Whether it's the records found in the telephone bureau or the murder case in the snack bar, it shows that someone leaked the information, and this person should be in this building. Chief Yang, you should think carefully about who else heard you answer the phone."

Yang Rong was stunned and said gloomily: "How is this possible? I was in the office when the call came. I was the only one who knew this information."

“Could it be that the information was leaked through other channels?”

He said so, but as he spoke, he had already picked up the phone on the table and checked it. He removed the bottom plate of the phone, and a small eavesdropping device appeared in front of him.

The muscles on Yang Rong's face twitched a few times. He wanted to throw the phone away, but after hesitating for a while, he put the phone down with gritted teeth. He felt his legs go weak and he almost collapsed in the chair.

A long sigh.

Yang Rong closed his eyes in annoyance and muttered to himself:
"We have always been the ones who bug others, but now we have been bugged without even noticing."

Zhang Yixin said, when you are complacent and think you have the overall situation under control, you may have lost your alertness and vigilance. Perhaps this is because you have been used to a comfortable life for a long time.
It is said that a mature manager must be prepared for danger in times of peace, but how many people can do that?

Some things are human nature and no one can escape them.

After getting over his initial annoyance, Yang Rong's face, which had been extremely ugly just now, instantly became peaceful. He slowly stood up and looked at Zhang Yi sincerely:

"Deputy Section Chief Zhang, I will give you an explanation for this matter."

"This couldn't be better!"

Zhang Yi nodded, said nothing more, and turned and left.

Yang Rong looked at him with a smile on his face until Zhang Yi's back disappeared. His face turned cold again. He stared at the phone on the table that he had taken apart. He frowned and put the phone back together, then made a call:
"Notify the guards that no one can leave the building from now on, and send another team of field agents."

That night, the screams of ghosts and wolves in the interrogation room of the Secret Service Office never stopped...

In the office, Zhang Yi lay on a chair, listening to the faint ringing of the telephone from inside and outside. He closed his eyes and began to receive today's information.

[Today's information is updated]

[1. You met Yang Rong today and obtained relevant information - Yang Rong instigated Li Chunxiang, the deputy director of the Red Party Wuhan Office, to defect. Li Chunxiang, codenamed Eye Mask, has already escaped from the Red Party Office and is preparing to take "Xiao Cui" out of the city secretly and flee far away tomorrow.]

Seeing this information, Zhang Yi shook his head slightly. He didn't know how this person escaped from the Red Party Office. But "Xiao Cui" was a spy of the Intelligence Department, and he didn't know whether the child she was pregnant with was his. The purpose of subverting him was to provide intelligence to the Secret Service. Now that he has lost his value, will Xiao Cui run away with him?

There are thousands of reasons why traitors rebel, but it all comes down to a lack of determination.

Zhang Yi thought of a traitor named Cai, who was born in Taiwan and was the head of the Japanese Red Party in Taiwan. He later participated in the Long March.

After being ordered to go to Taiwan, he was responsible for the overall leadership of the underground organization's work. Later, he was betrayed by a traitor and arrested.

After his first arrest, this man escaped and hid in the mountains and the countryside for several months. However, because he was greedy and wanted to go to the city to eat steak to improve his diet, he was arrested again by plainclothes police who had already discovered his weaknesses and habits.

After being arrested this time, he directly betrayed all of his communists, resulting in the arrest of hundreds or even thousands of people hiding in Wandao.
A gentleman should be cautious at the beginning. A slight mistake can lead to a great error. This is a bloody lesson.
[2. You met Dai Chunfeng today and obtained relevant information - Dai Chunfeng received a telegram from the Northwest King Hu, saying that the Red Party member Zhang had sent his confidant to negotiate with Hu Zongnan. Dai Chunfeng was overjoyed and sent Yang Wei, the head of the Military Transport Section, a traitor of the Red Party, to negotiate.]

Zhang Yi sighed. Pagoda Mountain is not peaceful now.
But there are some things he can't change...

[3. You have been to Jin Magao's residence today and obtained relevant information - Jin Magao and Japanese spy Ye Zhen are hiding at No. 22 Hui'an Lane.]

Upon seeing this information, Zhang Yi immediately stood up and picked up the map, starting to look for it on the map. He was shocked to discover that Hui'an Lane was right next to Huimin Street. He couldn't help but sneer, never expecting that the Japanese spies had played a trick on him in the dark.

He immediately picked up the phone on the table:

"Gather the men and prepare for action!"
