Chapter 230 Intelligence (please vote)

"Take him away and lock him up in a small dark room. Don't allow him to eat, and only give him some water. If he has a fever or his wounds are festering, don't worry about it. I want to see if his so-called Bushido spirit is really useful."

Seeing that Jin Magao was stubborn, Zhang Yi didn't hesitate and waved his hand to let the plainclothes police drag him away.

"Sasaki, remember, antipyretics and sulfa drugs are controlled drugs during wartime, and they are more expensive than gold. If you want to use them, you can exchange them for intelligence. But you have to hurry up, because once we catch Okada Yoshimasa, you will really lose your value."

How many days can a person survive by drinking only water without eating? The answer is about 60 days.

This data was obtained from experiments conducted by the heinous Unit 731 of the Japanese Army that invaded China using the bodies of Chinese people. No one knows how many Chinese lives and blood were shed behind it. Now it is a good opportunity for Jinmagao to experience it.

Even Jin Magao, who prided himself on his mental strength, couldn't help but tremble when he heard this order. He clenched his teeth and stared at Zhang Yi with sinister eyes: "You'd better kill me, right?"

"Want to die? It's too late!"

Zhang Yi waved his hands in disgust and suddenly thought of Ye Zhen who had confessed. Now that Wang Xiaoer was dead, he had lost his usefulness. Was it a waste of food to keep such a person around?

"Bring Yezhen to the photo studio, like this, like this." Zhang Yi called Liu Kui over and whispered something to him.

This kind of work was exactly what Liu Kui was looking for, so he immediately took people there with great interest.

Soon, Ye Zhen was taken to the room where Wang Fagang had taken photos before. He was no fool. He knew what the Secret Service was going to do as soon as he saw the situation. He would confess, but he didn't want to be featured in the newspaper and become a propaganda prop.

But how could Liu Kui reason with him? He took out a dagger and walked forward.

Seeing that Liu Kui was serious, Ye Zhen no longer cared about her dignity and begged: "What do you want? I want to see Section Chief Zhang. He promised me that."

"Stop talking nonsense. Do you think you can meet Section Chief Zhang? It's just to take a few photos. Don't worry, as long as you cooperate well, you will be out soon."

"Really?"

"Believe it or not." Liu Kui was too lazy to talk more. Under his guidance, he first changed Ye Zhen into a clean and tidy Japanese lieutenant colonel's uniform, and then found a clerk wearing a major's uniform. The photographer took many photos from different angles, and in almost every photo, Ye Zhen had a happy smile on his face.

"Thank you, Mr. Ye Zhen. Haha, there will be an article in the newspaper tomorrow saying that you have surrendered to us, and your photo will be used as promotional material." After the photo shoot, Liu Kui revealed the truth.

"Baka!" Ye Zhen's face changed and he roared angrily, "I have cooperated with you, but you still use such despicable means to deal with me. Aren't you too dishonest? It's okay to deal with me, but once the newspaper publishes it, not only me, but also my family will not be able to hold their heads up in front of the villagers. You can't do this."

"Integrity? Isn't this what I learned from you Japanese?" Liu Kui smiled disdainfully, and then said, "The dead should not worry about the living. Even if your family has suffered misfortune, it is what they deserve."

"What do you mean?" Realizing that something was wrong, Ye Zhen asked in horror.

Liu Kui did not respond, but just smiled strangely, took out a piece of rope from his trouser pocket, put it around Ye Zhen's neck in front of Ye Zhen's terrified and desperate eyes, and strangled him to death.

"After the photos are developed, select the best ones and send them to Section Chief Zhang."

After doing all this, Liu Kui had people put Ye Zhen's body into a sack, stuffed it into the trunk of a car, and then drove it directly to a remote place in the suburbs to bury it.

After receiving a call from Liu Kui that he had completed the task, Zhang Yi instructed his clerk: "Find someone to write an anti-Japanese and anti-war article and send it to Boss Dai along with the photos. As long as the boss agrees, publish it directly in the Sweeping Newspaper."

"Saodang Newspaper" is a newspaper of the Kuomintang's military intelligence system. It was founded in 32 and its predecessor was "Saodang Tri-Weekly". After moving to Hankou in 35, it was renamed "Saodang Newspaper".

Didn't the Japanese always search and arrest anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese elements in the occupied areas? Didn't they like to publicize traitors and traitors in the newspapers? This is called defeating magic with magic.

office.

Monkey said with admiration: "Chief, just as you expected, the Telecommunications Department detected a signal from an unknown radio station today, and the message was sent exactly 15 minutes before the explosion.

According to signal strength analysis and technical lateral measurement, the approximate location of this radio station is about one kilometer around New Paris Street in the French Concession. After determining the approximate location of the radio station, we retrieved all the incoming and outgoing calls within one kilometer of Wang Fagang's home, cross-checked, and conducted targeted investigations, and finally found three groups of suspicious calls. "

Zhang Yi narrowed his eyes and smiled, "The person who was monitoring Wang Fagang really showed up near his home and even made a phone call."

Then, Qian Xiaosan described the investigation he was in charge of: "After obtaining the data, our people immediately disguised themselves and conducted investigations and tracking of these groups of calls, and finally identified a group with the greatest suspicion."

"The number 89277 was dialed from Room 203 of the Baixing Hotel. The other end of the line was the assistant manager's office of Xinmin Bank on Xinbali Street in the French Concession."

"Assistant Manager's Office of Xinmin Bank?" Zhang Yi pondered, could this person be the cover identity of Okada Yoshimasa, the head of the Matsu Agency?
Although the Japanese Concession was not taken back, it was under the management of the Kuomintang. However, the French Concession was always controlled by the French. It was a gathering place for all kinds of people, including foreign expatriates with high noses and deep eyes, adventurers from all over the world, local residents, and of course, some all kinds of people, thieves, swindlers, gangsters, etc. These people were of different skin colors, nationalities, and identities, and they were active in the bizarre stage of the French Concession, either openly or secretly, adding a bit of mystery and danger to this area.

If Okada Yoshimasa's identity is an assistant manager of a bank, it can be imagined that he might be a smart and capable person who wears well-tailored suits, goes in and out of various high-end places, and is good at getting along with everyone.

While chatting and laughing with people from all walks of life, he uses seemingly ordinary business dealings to cover up his secret work that is unknown to the public. He can also use business activities as a cover to quietly collect all kinds of important intelligence.

Such a spy can be called a strategic agent. He is calm and composed, always vigilant, and even suspicious of everything. He is undoubtedly a cunning guy.

After sketching out a rough image of Gang Tian Fangzheng in his mind, Zhang Yi signaled Qian Xiaosan to continue.

"After finding the phone number, our people disguised themselves as patrolmen and verified the passengers of Baixing Hotel. The person registered in Room 203 was Su Ronghui, a Shandong native, who claimed to be in Wuhan to do tea business."

"Did you meet him?"

"No." Qian Xiaosan shook his head. "He was not there when we went there. He claimed to be a visitor. His room was open for three days. According to the description of the shopkeeper, this man was about 35 years old, with a beard and ordinary appearance. But his figure was very similar to the suspect who escaped from the telephone booth bombing case at that time. I suspect this man is Takayama Shuichi, the assistant of Okada Yoshimasa mentioned by Wang Fagang. I carefully observed the room 203 where he lived. There were hairs and matchsticks placed in the crack of the door, which can further prove his identity."

Zhang Yi nodded. Investigating a case often involves many things and many people. Some people are able to grasp the situation, some try their best but still know nothing, and some seemingly insignificant things are often ignored. However, the most important information is always in these insignificant things and people, just like now they have found a breakthrough again from the little spy Wang Fagang. As long as they can unravel the mystery and accurately grasp the key information, then whether it is Takayama Shuichi or Okada Yoshimasa behind him, they will not be far away.

After learning about the progress of the investigation, Zhang Yi immediately ordered: "The surveillance on Wang Fagang can be relaxed, but the covert surveillance must remain highly vigilant and avoid revealing your identity.

In addition, send a group of people to live in the People's Hotel in disguise and conduct 24-hour surveillance on Takayama Shuichi. "He thought for a moment and added: "Let Zheng Huhe go. If Takayama Shuichi shows up again, immediately track him."

"As for Okada Yoshimasa, don't alarm him yet. Let our people get to know the situation of Xinmin Bank from the outside, and then we can make a decision after we confirm Gaoshan Xiuyi's destination in the French Concession."

"Yes."

Seeing the two nod, Zhang Yi reminded again:

"As I said before, the operation must be kept secret and we must not alert the enemy."

"Understood!" Qian Xiaosan and Monkey stood at attention and saluted, then left.

After the two men left, Zhang Yi looked at his watch and found that it was already past twelve o'clock.

It was pitch black outside the window. I didn't know when it started raining. The cold winter wind wrapped the withered branches and fallen leaves and drifted on the bleak road, revealing a sense of sadness.

Zhang Yi closed his eyes and rested. He was really too tired. The events that happened one after another and the high-intensity work made him physically and mentally exhausted.

He has to deal with the unpredictable Dai Chunfeng, beware of his colleagues' plots and backstabbings, and face the cunning and brutal Japanese invaders abroad. He wears a different face every day. If time could stop for a moment, he really wants to throw away his disguised strong face in the corner of the dark night.

He thought of a song, "Don't let the clock go, let me be vulnerable for a minute."

But he cannot be weak. How can he save the country with a slow horse and a blunt sword?

Rubbing his forehead, Zhang Yi began to receive today's intelligence.

[Today’s information has been refreshed]

[1. You went to the train station today and obtained relevant information: the Red Party traitor Li Chunxiang swept away the funds of the Wuhan Office. Today he wanted to escape from the train station, but his disguise was discovered by the Red Party. He is now hiding at No. 22 Shengli Street.]

Zhang Yi shook his head. A traitor's heart is often complicated and contradictory. He may be afraid that his secret will be discovered and he will be severely punished. He may also have a deep sense of guilt. Of course, most traitors, once they betray, will often deceive and excuse themselves, trying to find various reasons and excuses for their betrayal to alleviate their inner guilt. Finally, they will feel a strong sense of uneasiness. This is because they are worried about whether their new master can really fulfill his original promise, and they are always in a state of anxiety.

Zhang Yi didn't know what the traitor Li Chunxiang was thinking at this moment. He betrayed the Red Party and was abandoned by the Secret Service. He was neither a good person nor a good person. He must be feeling remorse and anxiety in his heart.

[2. You went to the teahouse today and obtained relevant information - Zhu Xianjin, the head of the Red Party Wuhan Special Committee, and Zhao Limin, the Wuhan Hankou Police Department, secretly met.]

Zhu Xianjin, Zhao Liming?

Zhang Yi recalled the information he had seen today. Zhu Xianjin's cover identity was a small businessman, and Zhao Liming should be an undercover agent sent by the Red Party to infiltrate the police station.

After the explosion, the two were also taken to the interrogation room of the Secret Service. Zhu Xianjin was timid and gave the reason that doing business was not easy and he wanted to find Zhao Liming, who worked in the police station, as a backer. The latter had a cunning image of being profit-driven and taking advantage of everyone. Who would have thought that the two were meeting each other.

[3. You met Liu Kui today and obtained relevant information - Liu Kui brought small yellow croakers to visit Tang Heng, the secretary-general of the Secret Service Department.]

Ok?
Zhang Yi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, slightly surprised. When he was in Jinling, Liu Kui had always been trying to get close to Tang Heng's wife, but the county magistrate was not as good as the current one. Later, he joined the deputy section chief Wang Xinheng. After Wang Xinheng left, he joined him again. Now in Wuhan, why is he ready to move again? Could it be that he heard some rumors?
[4. You met Jin Magao today and obtained relevant information - Jin Magao has a safe house at No. 18 Marna Street.]

Zhang Yi was overjoyed when he saw this information. No matter what was in the safe house, it at least gave him one more bargaining chip to negotiate with Jinmagao.

[5. You met Dai Chunfeng today and obtained relevant information - Dai Chunfeng listened to Mao Qiwu's advice and asked Chang to resign from his position as director of the Military Intelligence Bureau.]

As the National Congress of the Kuomintang was about to be held, the calls for denouncing and abolishing the secret service organization grew louder. However, the Secret Service Bureau was not only not abolished, but was upgraded to a higher level and inherited the organization of the Military Control Commission.

The meeting has not yet been held, but the personnel appointments have already been decided.

The organization changed, but the person in charge did not change. Dai Chunfeng became the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau.

Getting promoted and getting rich is Boss Dai's life ideal, but he can't be happy because Deputy Director Zheng Mingyuan also becomes Deputy Director.

Zheng Mingyuan graduated from the second class of Whampoa Military Academy. He was known for his "maturity" and "erudition". He also studied in Germany. No matter in terms of academic qualifications or theoretical level, Boss Dai could not compare with him.

Although Zheng Mingyuan was sidelined by Boss Dai in the Secret Service, he knew that Zheng was not the kind of person who would willingly be inferior to others. Now the old man appointed him as deputy director again. If this person made a comeback, the Military Intelligence Bureau would not be able to act according to its own intentions, which would undoubtedly be like a thorn in the back, like a fishbone stuck in the throat, and like sitting on pins and needles.
Mao Qiwu, who was observing people's expressions with good intentions, naturally saw all of this. Zheng Mingyuan was not only a thorn in Boss Dai's side, but also Mao Qiwu's imaginary enemy.

Mao Qiwu seized the opportunity and made a suggestion to Dai Chunfeng: "Boss, you are the director, and the Secret Service Department is loyal to you, but Zheng Mingyuan has already taken the position of deputy director of the Military Affairs Department, and now he will be the deputy director of the Military Intelligence Bureau to be established. I am worried that he will be too busy to handle two positions. Besides, the Whampoa clique and the Guangdong Gang have always been eyeing our Jiangshan Gang. If he becomes the deputy director, I am afraid he will take the opportunity to suppress our Jiangshan Gang, which will affect your reputation."

These words hit Boss Dai directly in the heart. Just as he was thinking about how to respond, Mao Qiwu once again made a bold suggestion. If Dai Chunfeng resigned from the position of director, then Deputy Director Zheng Mingyuan's dream would naturally be shattered.

Boss Dai's mind turned, and he immediately understood what he meant, and exclaimed "Great idea."

So after Dai Chunfeng voluntarily resigned from the position of director on the grounds of "too little experience and inability to do the job", a new personnel appointment was made.

He, the director of the secretariat, was appointed director of the Military Intelligence Bureau with the rank of lieutenant general, Dai Chunfeng was appointed deputy director with the rank of major general, Zheng Mingyuan was appointed chief secretary, and Tang Heng was appointed secretary-general.

Director He was naturally just a figurehead, and the deputy director Dai who actually presided over the work still controlled the Military Control Commission and was the de facto top leader.

As a person who offered advice, Mao Qiwu also got a position as deputy chief secretary, nominally the fourth in command but actually the second in command.

Personnel affairs are politics, this has never been an empty statement.

Seeing that everyone has made progress, Zhang Yi couldn't help but wonder what kind of position he would get?
