My spy diary

Chapter 245 Monk (asking for monthly ticket)

The man was dragged away, and soon a tragic howl was heard outside the cabin.

After a while, Qian Xiaosan came in with a bloody dagger. While wiping the dagger, he said, "Chief, I confess."

"This guy's name is Suten Goichi. He parachuted into Wuhan from a reconnaissance plane a month ago, carrying a radio transmitter and other measuring instruments. There were three of them in the same group. One of them had a parachute malfunction during the jump and is missing."

"Where's the body? Where's the other person?"

"The body has never been found. There is another person who pretends to be mute and becomes a monk at Jing'an Temple on the mountain because he cannot speak Chinese. Xu Tiangang confessed that the abbot of Jing'an Temple, Le Fan, is also one of their people."

"Liao Fan? Can he be a monk if his six senses are not pure?" Zhang Yi sneered and thought: "The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. No one can guarantee whether there are other spies in Jing'an Temple. It's late today, so let's rest here. Send a message to the mountain and ask the reinforcements to block the way down the mountain. Gather a team tomorrow to arrest them all."

"Also, send someone to visit the nearby villagers. We must find the missing Japanese spy, alive or dead."

"Yes." Monkey nodded, glanced at Qian Xiaosan, and asked, "How do we deal with Xu Tiangangyi?"

"Interrogate him again. If no other useful information can be squeezed out, deal with him." Zhang Yi waved his hand nonchalantly. The mountain road was steep and everyone was exhausted, but there was no time to relax and carry another spy down.

"Yes."

In the mountains at night, the wind was howling coldly and the fog began to spread again.

The dense ancient bamboo trees blocked the moonlight, and it was pitch black everywhere. Zhang Yi generated electricity under the illumination of a flashlight. Just as he was about to take a break, he saw several beams of light flickering on the mountainside.

"What's going on?" Zhang Yi signaled everyone to wake up and be on guard.

"Could it be Chief Cao from the Telecommunications Department and his men?" someone said.

Zhang Yi thought about it and felt that it was possible. After all, the other party was carrying detection instruments and positioning equipment. He should be able to monitor the signal since he had just sent the message.

But this guy is very brave. He dared to sneak into the mountains with a few technicians in the dark? Wasn't he afraid that the Japanese spies would shoot him from behind?

"Qian Xiaosan, take a few people to meet them, but be slow and don't let them make any noise and alert the enemy." Zhang Yi thought for a moment and gave Qian Xiaosan a wink.

"Yes." Qian Xiaosan nodded carefully and left with a few people.

Half an hour later, Qian Xiaosan and his group reunited, and it turned out to be the group led by Cao Qingsheng, the head of the Telecommunications Department.

What surprised Zhang Yi was that there was an extra woman in their group.

"What's going on?" Zhang Yi asked the woman who was dressed like a mountain villager, wearing a bulky headscarf and a frightened face.

Cao Qingsheng was dishevelled, with several bloody cuts on his face from thorns, looking extremely embarrassed. At this moment, he had learned from Qian Xiaosan that Zhang Yi had captured a hidden Japanese spy alive, and was thinking about how to get a share of the spoils. The arrogance on his face had long disappeared. He smiled bitterly and explained, "Chief Zhang, when we were waiting for you on the mountainside, we found this sneaky woman. She said she was going up the mountain to deliver food. Who knows if she is an accomplice of the Japanese spy? It's just right for you to interrogate her."

"Send me food?" Zhang Yi looked at the fearful woman, asked someone to remove the rag gagged on her mouth, and asked kindly, "What's your name?"

Being surrounded by so many people, the woman was already frightened. She could no longer hold back and fell to her knees, crying, "Boss, my name is Cuihua, I don't have a real name. I just went up the mountain to deliver food to my husband, and I have nothing to do with the Japanese devils."

"What does your man do?"

"Hunting."

"Isn't that right? Hunters either return empty-handed or set traps and check the next day. If they stay in the mountains for a few days, they will carry dry food or cook with local materials. Your man is not a forest ranger, so why does he need you to bring him food?" Zhang Yi stared at the woman with cracked skin. Although she looked terrified and trembling, her eyes were vague when she spoke. It was obvious that she was lying. Even if she was not an accomplice of the Japanese spies, she must have concealed something.

"My husband can't cook." The woman was frightened when her lie was exposed, but she quickly added.

"That's not enough reason." Zhang Yi signaled Monkey to bring up the Japanese spy, Tsuyoshi Suten, who was tortured beyond recognition. "See you? This is the fate of a Japanese spy. You don't want your man and you to end up like this, do you? Of course, if you have nothing to do with the Japanese spy, I guarantee your safety."

The woman turned her head to look, and saw a bloody guy kneeling on the ground, whimpering and howling. The smell of blood overwhelmed her, and she could no longer control herself and started vomiting.

After a while, she gasped for breath, her lips trembling as she said, "I say."

It turned out that the woman's name was Li Cuihua, and she lived at the foot of the mountain. Her husband Guo Jinzi was indeed a hunter.

A month ago, Guo Jinzi and his fellow villager Li Sanping went into the mountains to hunt and found a corpse. The two found thousands of yuan in French currency from the corpse.

This should have been a wonderful thing. The two had never seen so much money at once. Even if they divided it equally, even if the French currency depreciated, it would be enough for their two families to live lavishly for a year.

However, at this time, Guo Jinzi became malicious and killed Li Sanping in order to keep all the money for himself.

Then Guo Jinzi disposed of the bodies of the two men and immediately returned home with the money. After conspiring with his wife, he immediately wanted to flee with the money.

But there were wars everywhere at the moment, and they didn't know where to go. They were also afraid that after their family disappeared, the Li family would find out and report them to the police for their wanted men. So after the two of them discussed it, Guo Jinzi returned to the mountains to hide again, telling others that he had gone out hunting and had not returned.

Sure enough, after Li Sanping did not return, the Li family finally came to find him. Li Cuihua naturally would not tell the truth, so the two families called the police and organized neighbors to search the mountain.

After searching for several days, there was no sign of anyone alive or dead. Everyone thought they were eaten by wild beasts, and the matter gradually died down.

Guo Jinzi planned to stay in the mountains for a while, wait until things were over, and then take his wife to live in the city. So recently Li Cuihua had been bringing him food under the pretext of going into the mountains to pay homage.

But I didn't expect to run into Cao Qingsheng, the head of the telecommunications department today.

"Section Chief, is it possible that the body touched by Guo Jinzi is the missing Japanese spy?"

"It's very likely." Zhang Yi nodded. After searching for a long time, he finally found what he wanted. As long as he found Guo Jinzi, he could find the body of the Japanese spy and his belongings.

"Okay, take her away and find Guo Jinzi Traffic Police Station to deal with her tomorrow."

Zhang Yi told someone to hand over the seized radios and other equipment to the head of the Telecommunications Section Cao Qingsheng for processing, and then he turned and went into the cabin.

As soon as I entered, a cold and musty smell hit me in the face. The house was shabby and damp, and even mushrooms were growing on the wooden walls.

Everyone had to take off their outer clothes and spread them on the thatch, so that they could at least sleep more dryly.

Zhang Yi loaded the pistol and placed it beside him, then closed his eyes and began to receive today's intelligence.

[1. You have met the Japanese spy Tetsuwen Jiangtou today and obtained relevant information. Tetsuwen Jiangtou is 40 years old and a senior spy of the Japanese Special High Section. His code name is "Eagle". He has been lurking in Wuhan for 32 years. He has a safe house at No. 19 New Paris Street in the French Concession.]

[2. You have interrogated the Japanese spy Tetsufumi Eto today and obtained relevant information. Tetsufumi Eto rented an anonymous safe at the BNP Paribas Bank, and the key is kept in the hands of Kobayashi Koji, the bartender at the White House bar.]

The characteristic of a bearer safe is that it does not require the specific identity information of the depositor to be registered. When using a safe, it usually only requires a specific key, password and agreed method to open it. In today's social unrest, political instability and financial chaos, many people choose this method to store valuables, documents, funds, etc.

Zhang Yi estimated that the so-called notebook of Jiangtou Zhewen should be kept in the safe.

After browsing the information, Zhang Yi fell asleep quietly, listening to the occasional rustling of leaves outside.

Silent all night.

In the early morning in the mountains, the air is fresh and clear, so clear that one forgets how cold it is in early spring. There is no hustle and bustle of city traffic, no people coming and going, only the chirping of insects and birds, neither hurried nor slow.

But Zhang Yi and others had no time to appreciate all this. As soon as daybreak came, they immediately packed up their luggage and sneaked towards the nearby Jing'an Temple.

Jing'an Temple is hidden in the deep mountains. Its red walls and yellow tiles appear and disappear in the mottled light, as if it is far away from the world.

The gate of the temple was tightly closed, and the copper ring on the door had been worn smooth by the years. Through the crack in the door, one could glimpse an ancient incense burner in the quiet courtyard of the temple. The smoke was rising from it, adding a touch of mystery to this quiet place.

Such a place is supposed to be a place for enlightened and elegant people to practice meditation. Who would have thought that there were Japanese spies lurking there? Who knows what kind of vicious heart is hidden under his pious appearance.

"Chief, I just counted and there are six monks who have appeared. I don't know if there are more in secret. So far, I haven't found the Luofan that Xu Tian just told me about."

"Continue to scout. How long will it take for our reinforcements?"

"Half an hour, they set out at daybreak."

"Okay, when they arrive, attack immediately."

"Yes."

"boom"

Half an hour later, a gunshot rang out, and the tranquility of the thousand-year-old temple was completely broken. As a large number of mountain birds flew up, the battle began completely.

This was followed by intensive gunfire, scolding and cursing.

The battle started as quickly as it ended.

There was a loud explosion, and when Zhang Yi went in, the battle was over.

Monkey said with a dusty face: "Report to the section chief, a total of 6 people were killed and 3 were captured alive."

"Where is Liao Fan?"

"The old guy ran away. No one knew there was a mechanism under the Buddha statue. He hid inside and detonated the bomb. Our people are looking for an exit."

Zhang Yi sneered. Even if there were secret passages in this deep forest, they wouldn't have dug through the mountain, right? Therefore, the exit must be nearby.

"Look for them separately."

Zhang Yi said this and led his men to the back mountain.

After reaching the back mountain and searching, we found a tombstone in the weeds.

The soil next to the tombstone looked like it had just been laid there and was loose.

Zhang Yi squatted beside and looked carefully for a while. There were traces of the ground being swept with weeds. He walked around the area and finally found a few shallow footprints.

There was no need to measure, as one could tell at a glance that they were adult footprints. Pilgrims who went up the mountain to pray for blessings generally did not come to the back mountain, so it went without saying that Fan must have just escaped from here.

"Someone, come here, notify the people down the mountain to bring the hunting dogs up. If we still can't find them, set the mountain on fire." Zhang Yi winked at the plainclothes officers who were searching and deliberately spoke loudly towards the dense forest. He wanted to see if this Lu Fan could keep his composure.

Sure enough, after a while, an old man with mottled hair and a slightly hunched back came out of the woods humming a little tune. He was carrying a bamboo basket with a hammer and a chisel in it, and he looked calm.

"Who are you?" The old man looked at Zhang Yi and others in confusion and asked.

"Shouldn't I be the one asking this?"

"What did you say?" The old man pulled his ear, looked at the tombstone as he walked, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Are you here to see the tombstone as well? Monk Liaofan asked me to carve this."

"Stop, that's enough, stop pretending, Liaofan." Zhang Yi looked at him coldly, "It seems that you have dug your own grave."

"Hehe." Seeing that his disguise was exposed, Lefan slowly stood up straight. He tore off his hair and breath, revealing his true face.

With his ordinary looks and bald head, he looks kind and benevolent. But if he puts on a monk's robe and recites a few words of "Amitabha", everyone will call him a bald donkey.

"I advise you to surrender." Zhang Yi stared at the man. Although his expression was calm, his tense body and alert feet were ready to deal with the crisis.

"Hehe, I'm the third generation of the Ishikawa family, Ishikawa Yasuyoshi. My ancestor is the great father of spies, Ishikawa Goichi. My family has served the emperor for generations and has never surrendered. Even if I have to die today, I'm going to take a few people with me."

Ishikawa Goichi was one of the most famous Japanese spies during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, and the intelligence in the Gaosheng Incident was provided by him.

However, after the incident, this man was arrested before he left the Tianjin Concession and was eventually executed. Unexpectedly, his grandson went to China and became a spy.

"Ishikawa Goichi? I've never heard of him. He's probably just a nobody." Zhang Yi smiled sarcastically, deliberately provoking him.

"Baka." As expected, Ishikawa Yasuyoshi was furious and quickly pulled out a gun that he had hidden long ago from his arms.

But Zhang Yi was already on guard, so how could he succeed?

"Bang" a gunshot was heard, and after the gunshot, Ishikawa Yasuyoshi fell to the ground dragging his wrist. The plainclothes police officer beside Zhang Yi immediately rushed up and controlled him.

"Chief, grenades." The monkey who picked up Ishikawa Yasuyoshi's gun pointed at several grenades in the bamboo basket and said with lingering fear. It was conceivable that if this guy didn't want to survive, he would have directly detonated the grenade, and they would have died or been injured.

"Baga, damn Chinese, kill me. Even if I die, we still have descendants, the Great Japanese Empire."

"Shut up." Zhang Yi punched him on the mouth, took out handcuffs from behind his waist, handcuffed him directly, and said:

"Descendants? Humph, if you Japanese spies dare to set foot in China, we will kill them all."
