My spy diary

Chapter 229 Investigation (asking for monthly ticket)

Dai Chunfeng closed Wang Fagang's interrogation record with a grim expression and asked, "So the head of the Song Agency, Okamura Yoshimasa, was at the scene at the time?"

Zhang Yi nodded and reported: "Wang Fagang, disguised as a servant, once entered the box to add tea. He saw with his own eyes that Okamura Yoshi was sitting in the box. Of course, he said this himself. What do you think?"

"From what he has said, I think he can be trusted for now. As for the future," Boss Dai shook his head and changed the subject, "It is said that one cannot get a tiger cub without risking it. Okamura Yoshimasa dared to sneak into Wuhan. He must have been prepared to compete with our secret service department. I hope he is not a weakling who can be easily defeated."

"Since ancient times, strong dragons have never oppressed local snakes, let alone a toothless tiger with broken wings. When he meets a real dragon like you, boss, he has to lie down obediently." Mao Qiwu on the side complimented with a smile.

Boss Dai glanced at him, chuckled, and continued, "I want to arrest him, but I want to know more about the highest intelligence channel that Wang Fagang mentioned that the Special High Section has opened up. I hope he can play this role well and get the people in the loose agency to come out."

Zhang Yi asked, "Director, should I let him go?"

"As long as you can ensure that the news of his arrest does not leak out, you can release him now."

"No, we brought all the people in the teahouse back. We interrogated them separately. Wang Fagang had no other obvious injuries except for the branding marks. We let him leave with the second batch of releases, so he wouldn't attract attention."

Yes, Wang Fagang (played by Maochuan Hidekazu) chose to cooperate.

Not to mention the living example of Wang Xiaoer in front of him, he himself did not want to die.

Apart from his wife and children in Wuhan, he also has parents, wife and children in Japan who are eagerly waiting for him to return, and he can't bear to leave them.

But as a soldier, especially a Japanese spy who had been brainwashed by military, national ideas and Bushido spirit, he naturally could not surrender without caring about his face. Even in the face of Zhang Yi's coercion and inducement and the piercing pain of the branding iron, he had to resist again.

So, after suffering water torture again, Wang Fagang resigned himself to his fate.

At this moment, Zhang Yi looked at the listless Wang Fagang in front of him and said sincerely: "Mr. Maochuan, you can go back, but there are some procedures that need to be fulfilled before that."

"What?" Wang Fagang looked puzzled.

Zhang Yi looked at him with a smile, without saying anything, just waved his hand. Monkey and Qian Xiaosan came up and took him to a specially prepared room on the second floor without giving him a chance to refuse.

The room was very simple, with only a desk and a few chairs, but on the wall hung a large portrait of Mr. Chang and the Blue Sky, White Sun flag.

Following the request of Monkey and Qian Xiaosan, Wang Fagang sat on the chair in front of the portrait and started taking pictures.

Of course he knew what this meant. As long as he did not cooperate honestly, these photos would be published in the newspapers immediately. No matter how well he, Shigekawa Hidekazu, could argue, he was still a traitor and a traitor to his country.

"You have completely tied me to your pirate ship." Wang Fagang growled in a mocking tone.

"Don't worry, as long as you provide information in time and cooperate with us honestly, we will not bother you, and these photos will never be exposed." Zhang Yi didn't care and continued:

"You don't need me to take you back?"

"No need." Wang Fagang shook his head angrily and joined the second group of people being released with a gloomy face. Perhaps the organization's people were secretly monitoring and observing him at this moment, so he didn't dare to let Zhang Yi accompany him back.

Looking at Wang Fagang's lonely back as he left, Zhang Yi sneered. Even if he was a collaborator, he did not deserve the slightest sympathy because he was Japanese. This alone determined his future fate. Of course, what he had to do now was to squeeze out as much value as possible from him.

"Have the arrangements been made?"

Monkey nodded and said, "There are three surveillance teams in total, one in the open and two in the dark, monitoring him 24 hours a day."

Zhang Yi nodded in agreement and every released suspect would be under surveillance for at least one week.

Wang Fagang's situation is different from these people. Those who are monitored openly are doing it for the Japanese special forces organization to see, and even if it is acting, they have to act realistically. Those who are monitored secretly are not only observing Wang Fagang's every move, but also secretly discovering and tracking down the Japanese special forces who are in contact with Wang Fagang.

Night gradually falls on Wuhan, but many people are still busy.

Wang Fagang returned home anxiously and found that his wife and daughter were at home. Everything in the house was back to normal, with no sign that it had been searched by plainclothes police from the Secret Service.

"Boss, are you okay? A few policemen said you were injured and wanted to take us to the hospital. Later they said they made a mistake. What's going on?" As soon as they met, his wife came up to him anxiously, grabbed his shoulders and checked on him with concern.

"It's okay, it must be a mistake. Isn't it okay for me to be fine?" His arm was hurt by the grab, but Wang Fagang could only pretend to be calm and sighed, "I don't know which crazy person threw a bomb in the teahouse. Now the shopkeeper is dead. Not only can I not get my salary, but I have also lost my job."

"It's okay if you lose your job, but it's good that you're fine. If something happens to you, how will we live?" Seeing that his wife didn't doubt him, Wang Fagang breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "You haven't eaten yet, right? How about going out for something?"

"Eating out is so expensive. Now that I don't have a job, I'd better save as much as possible. You can take care of the kids for a while while I go to cook." As the wife said this, she had already gone into the kitchen.

After being tortured by the Secret Service for a long time, Wang Fagang was indeed hungry, but he had no appetite at the moment. Today was a terrifying day. The continuous torture made him exhausted, but he could not tell all this to his wife and daughter.

He absentmindedly coaxed his daughter for a few words, then turned and walked to the window.

Looking out through the crack in the window, I saw that there was a man selling sweet potatoes and candied haws on the street without me noticing.

There is no doubt that he was sent by the Secret Service to monitor me.

Wang Fagang sighed in annoyance. He had imagined various ways of being exposed, but he had never thought that he would be caught in such a cowardly way. Now he was shamefully become a traitor. He didn't have to worry about the Secret Service, but what about the Song Agency? If they found out that he had betrayed, would they give him a chance to explain himself?
the answer is negative.

While Wang Fagang was looking out the window, in a hotel not far away, Takayama Shuichi, who had changed his appearance again, stood behind the curtains, holding a telescope and following him. He was also monitoring Wang Fagang. When Wang Fagang and his family of three sat down at the dining table, Takayama Shuichi's telescope fell on the vendor selling sweet potatoes and candied haws. After observing for a while, he sneered and made a phone call.

"Yes, he just returned home and is under surveillance. Everything is fine now. Got it."

"Chief, everything is normal."

In the office, Zhang Yi put down the phone and started thinking.

The plainclothes officer who was monitoring Wang Fagang reported that everything was normal. This was within Zhang Yi's expectations. Even if the Japanese spies were also secretly monitoring the other party, they would never contact him rashly at this time. Moreover, not all the plainclothes officers had sharp eyes, so it would be very difficult to find the secret observer.

But there is a solution.

After thinking for a while, he called Monkey and Qian Xiaosan to analyze: "Since the Song Agency obtained the information from the Special High Section, it is estimated that the information was transmitted by radio. Immediately ask the Telecommunications Department to see if any unknown radio station signals were detected before the explosion, and try to determine the location of the radio station."

"Then we started to reverse the search to see if there were any calls made to this area near Wang Fagang's home, whether it was from a public phone, a hotel, or a home phone. We had to get the data."

This is a complicated and boring job, but the key to solving a case is to find the clues that are truly relevant to the case from the chaotic and complex information and to accurately distinguish all the information.

Of course, a bit of luck is also required here. If the enemy does not contact us by phone, then all efforts will be in vain.

"Yes."

Seeing the two of them accepting the order, Zhang Yi's expression became serious, and he reminded them again: "From now on, the confidentiality level of this case will be upgraded to the best. Apart from the three of us, other staff members, even those who are involved in the investigation, cannot tell the specific plan. You two will act separately, and then meet up with me after you get the data. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Understood." Monkey and Qian Xiaosan said in unison. Apart from the time of the leak, they had to be alert. Although Wang Fagang confessed that the information was leaked through the highest-level channels, there is a saying that goes, "someone may say it unintentionally but someone may listen to it intentionally." Sometimes, it is just a rat that spoils the whole barrel.

The two men left as ordered. Liu Kui knocked on the door and came in, saying, "Chief Zhang, Jin Magao is awake."

"That's good news. Let's go and meet him." Zhang Yi smiled. Ye Zhen confessed, but once Wang Xiaoer died, the information was leaked. He had lost all his value. Now it depended on whether they could make any breakthrough with this cunning Jin Magao.

In the interrogation room, Zhang Yi sat down on the chair opposite Jin Magao.

Jin Magao was still wearing the same clothes he was arrested in. They were filthy and he looked listless.

"Sasaki? Your assistant Nosada has already confessed, now it's your turn."

"And then?" Jin Magao raised his head and sneered, "I guess you didn't gain anything, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't think of a dying man like me."

“Be honest, as long as you tell us the list of your superiors and subordinates and their hiding places, our section chief will show mercy and you may be able to survive until the day when Japan is defeated.” Liu Kui was an impatient man. Without saying a word, he slapped him twice.

Jin Ma raised his handcuffed hands and wiped the blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. He spat and suddenly burst into laughter.

"Zhang Yi, Section Chief Zhang? Hahaha, I thought you were a smart man, but I didn't expect that your subordinates were all good-for-nothings. And you said that we Japanese were defeated? This is really the funniest joke in the world. It only took our Great Japanese Empire a few months to occupy half of your China. It is only a matter of time before we completely occupy the whole of China. The Great Japanese Empire is invincible, so it is only you Chinese who are defeated."

Jin Magao laughed loudly, looking very proud.

"Invincible?" Zhang Yi sneered. "Although China was defeated in the Battle of Shanghai, with 300,000 casualties and half of the officers below the regiment level died for their country, what about you Japanese? The world's most powerful, united, and fiercest first-class soldiers also lost 90,000 elite soldiers.

Haha, in the 'Taiyuan Campaign' not long ago, even the Banheng Division of your so-called Steel Army was sniped by our army at Pingxingguan, so the so-called invincibility is a joke.

In the long run, victory will only belong to China. You little Japan are just a tiny country. Even if you occupy our territory in order to fight to support the war, the Chinese people with conscience and backbone will rise up to resist. We are ready to make all-out sacrifices. Can you little Japan do it?"

Jin Magao sneered and said undisguisedly, "What Taiyuan Battle, what Pingxingguan Victory? Yan arranged eleven armies with nearly 100,000 people to block the advance of the Imperial Japanese Army at Pingxingguan, but only the so-called Eighth Route Army found our tracks. It was our baggage troops who used ten times the force to launch a surprise attack. After fighting for a day, they annihilated a thousand of us. They even exaggeratedly publicized it in the newspaper as the annihilation of the Banheng Division. Don't you think this is a joke?"

Zhang Yi knew that Jin Magao was telling the truth. The opponent in the Pingxingguan Victory was indeed the baggage troop of the 21st Brigade of the Banheng Division. To put it bluntly, it was a logistics transport unit responsible for transporting military equipment, food and other supplies. It was an irregular combat unit.

It was only out of the need for the war of resistance and in order to inspire the confidence of the people across the country in the war of resistance that both the Red Party and the Guo Party greatly exaggerated the Warring States period to the outside world. This is understandable. It was not until the 80s that the results of the war were further revised.

From here, we can see that the Japanese devils at that time were indeed powerful. It was definitely not like the anti-Japanese dramas. The Japanese devils were all stupid, wretched and stupid. They took the initiative to send their bodies to the machine guns of the beautiful women and handsome men with endless bullets. After killing the Japanese devils, they still said, "Comrades, the 8-year war of resistance has begun. I tell you, my grandfather was killed by the devils when he was 9 years old, and today I will avenge him."
The fact is, the brutality of the battle was beyond imagination. The Eighth Route Army won the victory at the cost of more than a thousand casualties. In addition to seizing spoils, they also learned a lot of valuable experience.

Zhang Yi remembered an interview with an old Eighth Route Army soldier. In the hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese army, they fought in squads, with at least three people forming a team to fight the devils with bayonets, some defending, some assisting, and some feinting.
It was the countless people of noble character and lofty ideals who were determined to die and who made countless sacrifices in one brutal battle after another that brought us the final victory.

"What about the Battle of Xinkou? The main force of your Fifth Division was annihilated by more than 10,000 people. Is this also false?"

"Haha, that's true, but it doesn't change the fact that you lost the battle. Chief Zhang, if you want to refute me, you should say something useful, right?"

Zhang Yi looked at Jin Magao's arrogant look and knew that he was deliberately provoking him. He suppressed his anger and sneered, "No matter how confident you are, you can't change the fact that you are a prisoner. By the way, I have bad news for you. This afternoon, your superior, Gang Tianfang, the head of the Song Agency, appeared in the teahouse. We have already tracked him down. If you can survive, you may be able to meet him again."

Jin Magao sneered, but his face was full of disbelief.

At this time, Monkey knocked on the door excitedly and whispered something in Zhang Yi's ear.

Looking at the hint of surprise in Zhang Yi's eyes, Jin Magao suspected that Zhang Yi was putting on a show for him, but a trace of gloom still rose in his heart.

Okada Yoshimasa was exposed just like that?
