My spy diary

Chapter 256 Stalker (asking for monthly ticket)
Shanghai, Special High Section.

Special High Police Chief Kentaro Yamamoto hung up the phone with a gloomy face, and a fierce light flashed in his triangular eyes.

Even "Night Owl" (Lao Yang, Uchino Kenta) was arrested, and this person is older than him.
But for spy organizations, those who are exposed and arrested are discarded and their only fate is death.

After thinking for a while, he picked up the phone again and dialed a number: "Ask Black Panther and Bingpo to come to me immediately."

Soon a man and a woman knocked on the door and came in. One of them stood up and saluted, while the other bowed and saluted.

"Haruno Musashi, Hayakawa Tomoko greet you, Senior."

Kentaro Yamamoto squinted his eyes and looked at the two of them. Haruno Musashi was tall and thin, with an elegant temperament, while Hayakawa Tomoko was slim, gentle and sweet.

"A talented man and a beautiful woman."

After judging it in his mind, Yamamoto took out a file bag from the drawer and handed it over, saying, "The demise of Kimura Hirokichi, Uchino Kenta, and the Night Fox Group all indicate one thing: China's spy organizations are making rapid progress. We have to face it seriously, and the culprit behind all this is Zhang Yi. If this poisonous snake cannot be eradicated, it will threaten the security of the Empire's intelligence community."

"Haruno-kun, your code name is Xingmang, which means the light of a star. Although it is small, it can still shine in the dark and play an important role. On the Xuzhou front, you successfully poisoned more than 400 Chinese soldiers on your own. Your brilliant record has been included in the textbooks of the Nakano School. I am sincerely proud of you. Although you are on vacation, as a soldier of the Empire, I hope that you will put the interests of the Empire first, be loyal to the Emperor, and help me eliminate all dissidents."

Haruno Musashi disguised himself as a defeated Kuomintang soldier on the front line and was directly recruited into the Third Battalion of the 190th Regiment of the 568th Division of the Kuomintang Army. He took advantage of the opportunity of working in the kitchen to poison more than 400 people in the battalion.

"Personal honor and disgrace are insignificant compared to the honor and disgrace of the empire. Please rest assured, senior, I will definitely fulfill my mission and eliminate all dissidents. The emperor will win."

"Yoshi." Yamamoto Kentaro nodded in appreciation, and then looked at the weak Hayakawa Tomoko: "Bingpo, you are cold and ruthless, but decisive. I have read your file. You have basic medical knowledge, know how to shoot, and are good at communication, makeup, and instigation. You have performed well in the matter of Tang Shaoyi, and I will also commend you."

"Hayi, please give the orders, senior." Hayakawa Tomoko bowed and her voice was cold, which was inconsistent with her sweet appearance.

Yamamoto took back the documents and asked, "Are all the missions clear?"

The two said decisively: "Understood."

"External identity?"

"A reporter from Ta Kung Pao."

"What is your relationship?"

"Lovers."

"Intimate?"

"In love." When Haruno Musashi saw Yamamoto Kentaro staring at him sinisterly with his triangular eyes, he immediately opened his arms and looked at Hayakawa Tomoko beside him.

Tomoko Hayakawa let out a smile, even more anxious than him, and threw herself into his arms.

Hugging, gazing, and kissing, the two of them lingered for a long time as if no one was around.

"Pa pa." Amid Yamamoto's applause, the two people who had just hugged each other tightly separated in an instant.

"Yo, good job." Yamamoto smiled in appreciation and looked at his watch. "The plane is ready. You will arrive at the destination tonight. Complete the mission within 48 hours and then arrive at the designated location to receive the next order."

As he spoke, he took out a letter from his pocket and said, "This is the way to contact Kangaroo. He will help you complete the task."

"Hai."

"Kangaroo is a high-level agent we infiltrated into their ranks in the early years. Now both the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Military Bureau of Investigation are very strict in examining new recruits. We have been doing our best to protect his safety. This time, because the mission is important, we activated this trump card. You must cooperate closely."

"Make sure the mission is accomplished, and the Emperor will win."

"The Emperor will win." Yamamoto Kentaro smiled slightly, then looked at Haruno Musashi, pointed at the scar on his temple left by shrapnel, and warned: "The front line and the rear, the identity of a soldier and a reporter are all different. When you go to the enemy-occupied area to perform a mission, any unnecessary movements, expressions and eyes are dangerous, not to mention your scar. It is your medal of honor, but it is also a mark. If people remember it, you will be dead soon."

"I will make it disappear. Of course, this requires Miss Tomoko's superb makeup skills."

"That's great, let's go!"

When Lao Yang was arrested, his wife Wang Yazhu was also arrested at the same time. When his son Yang Jun heard that his father and stepmother were actually Japanese spies, he collapsed and resolutely joined the army to join the upcoming defense of Wuhan.

With the arrest of Lao Yang, the night owl, and the information provided by Michio Mitsuno and Katsuto Matsuura, a Japanese spy network that had been established and operated for several years was completely destroyed.

After handing over the interrogation work to his subordinates, Zhang Yi once again devoted himself to the counterfeit currency plan.

The movie "Wushuang" portrays the process of making counterfeit currency vividly. It is said that the director directly made a fake template for the purpose of filming and destroyed it after the filming.

The entire process of making counterfeit currency includes making electronic plates, printing plates, finding acid-free paper, ink, printing, etc.

But at that time, the national government relied on Britain and the United States for everything from financial reform to the issuance of legal currency. The equipment and paper for making counterfeit currency were imported from the American Mint at a huge expense, and with the assistance of technical elites selected from the Bank of China, the process of counterfeiting Japanese currency was being fully promoted.

Counterfeit currencies such as UnionPay coupons, reserve notes, and military tickets used by Japan in the occupied areas have been produced in an endless stream because they do not contain native plant fibers from Japan.

Although inside information provided that the plant fiber in the Japanese currency mulberry paper was the bark of the three-leaved tree, this plant was simply not found at the time.

Just when Zhang Yi was anxious, he received a call from Dai Chunfeng.

When I arrived at Boss Dai's office, I saw him chatting with a middle-aged man in a suit and with a dignified appearance. The two of them were leaning on the sofa with their legs crossed, and they looked like two friends.

Dai Chunfeng pointed at the middle-aged man and said, "This is Brother Tianlin, the deputy director of the North China Region."

"This is Zhang Yi from the Operations Department."

Brother Tianlin is Wang Tianlin, who was born in 1883. He was a Jinshi in the Guangxu period and graduated from the Northeast Military Academy. After graduation, he studied at Meiji University in Japan and obtained a bachelor's degree in law.

In 32, at the invitation of Dai Chunfeng, he joined the Secret Service and became the station chief of Tianjin Station. He, Chen Gongshu and Zhao Libiao were collectively known as the "three major killers" of the Secret Service.

These three killers later "loved and killed each other" due to their different backgrounds, resumes, and personalities, and their fates were different. Of course, this is a later story.

Hearing that this person was the famous Wang Tianlin, Zhang Yi was startled and quickly stood up to salute:

"Hello, District Chief Wang. I have long heard of your great name."

"I'm afraid it's all a bad reputation? Hahaha." Wang Tianlin laughed.

The so-called "bad reputation" naturally refers to the ugly things he has done.

Wang Tianlin looks elegant, but as he is called a killer, he is naturally a ruthless person.

This man became the stationmaster of Tianjin in June 32, and Chen Gongshu became the stationmaster of Peking at the end of the year. In 6, the two conspired to assassinate the traitor Zhang Jingyao and became notorious.

Having been in high positions for a long time, issuing orders and even killing people without warning, they have long been indifferent to life. In the words of Boss Dai, Wang and Chen are becoming increasingly difficult to control. Their common characteristics are: they have no regard for the group, do not abide by family rules, and are free and undisciplined and reckless.

In early 34, this man and his action team members went to a brothel to have fun. Because a girl had an argument with other customers, he killed the man in a rage. He wanted to put the body in a box, take it out in a rickshaw and throw it away, but the matter was exposed. This was the sensational "corpse box case".

Just after this incident, Wang Tianlin lost money in gambling and instructed his men to kidnap the granddaughter of the chairman of Rehe Province in the Italian Concession in Tianjin. He extorted 50,000 oceans from her and then divided the loot. Public opinion was in an uproar and it caused a sensation across the country.

Chang was furious. After Dai Chunfeng intervened, they quickly found out that it was Wang Tianlin who did it. At the request of Boss Dai, he was spared the death penalty and was detained in the Secret Service Prison until December 36.

"I heard that District Chief Wang is also the commander-in-chief of the North China Loyal and Patriotic Army. He also has an Anti-Japanese Traitor-Extermination Group under his command. During this period, they have successively assassinated Wang Zhulin, the president of the Tianjin Chamber of Commerce, Cheng from the pseudo-North China United Bank, and others. It is said that even traitors dare not go out, which shows the great reputation of Senior Wang." Zhang Yi pretended to flatter Wang Tianlin a few times, and Wang Tianlin was very proud of himself.

"Okay, stop complimenting each other." Dai Chunfeng snorted and pointed at a brocade box on the table and said, "Brother Tianlin has found what you need."

Zhang Yi took the box and took a look. There was a medicinal herb inside. With the sample, he could "follow the map to find the herb".

"That's great. Thank you, District Chief Wang."

"It's nothing, it's just a piece of cake." Wang Tianlin waved his hand disapprovingly and asked Dai Chunfeng, "Brother Yunong, where is Zang Yi?"

"I sent him back home."

Wang Tianlin sighed when he heard this.

Dai Zangyi is naturally the son of Dai Chunfeng. He studied at Shanghai Datong University earlier. He was a drunkard, a whore and a gambler. Because he was short of money, he cheated 300 yuan from Shen Xishan, the then head of the French Concession Intelligence Group, and ran away. As a result, Shen Xishan had no money to distribute funds to his subordinates the next day, so he had to run to Ji'e Lane in Jinling to ask his father Dai Chunfeng for money.

While Wang Tianlin was in prison, his family was in Jinling and asked Boss Dai to take care of them.

He has two daughters, the eldest is Wang Kangzi (also known as Chanhong) and the youngest is Wang Yinzi (also known as Chanlu). He wanted to marry his daughter to Dai's daughter, but Dai Zangyi said he didn't like them after dating the eldest and second daughter.
Seeing the two talking about family matters, Zhang Yi immediately offered to leave.

After leaving the secret service, Zhang Yi immediately drove to a Chinese medicine clinic, and did not notice that there was a pair of mysterious eyes staring at him from behind.

The old Chinese doctor sitting in the clinic was over 70 years old, with snow-white hair neatly combed back his head, revealing a broad and full forehead with a few deep wrinkles on it, which added a bit of calmness and wisdom.

He looked at the plant in Zhang Yijin's box, his deep eyes bright, and he spoke eloquently: "This is the three-branched lindera, the bark and leaves can be used as medicine, and can be used to treat injuries from falls, blood stasis, swelling and pain, sores and other diseases."

"Old man, where can I collect this kind of thing? Is there any in Wuhan?" Seeing that the old man told him the answer at a glance, Zhang Yi asked humbly.

"Why not? This kind of thing can be found in North China, Central China, and Southwest China, but it likes moist and fertile land, and is usually concentrated in mixed woods. I think there is one on Mulan Mountain."

"Thank you, father-in-law." Zhang Yi stood up to thank him, left a few bills and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, the old Chinese doctor pushed the banknotes towards him and said with a glare, "Young man, you are so impatient. What do I need the money for? Since you are looking for medicine, you must be curing diseases and saving lives. I didn't see a patient or prescribe medicine, so why should I charge you money?"

"Listen, the leaves of the three-branched lindera have a unique shape. They bloom before they leave. The flowers are golden yellow, the new leaves are crimson, and the autumn leaves are either orange or red. They are different in every season."

"Thank you, old man. Thank you very much." Zhang Yi expressed his sincere gratitude again. He not only admired the old man's erudition but also respected his character.

After bidding farewell to the old Chinese doctor, Zhang Yi prepared to return to the Secret Service to organize a group of reliable people to go into the mountains to collect herbs. However, the moment he lifted the door curtain, he immediately noticed a figure flash by on his right and hide in the alley.

"Someone is following me?" Zhang Yi was startled. Who is it? A Japanese spy? Boss Dai's men? Or the Central Bureau of Investigation?

He came out of the Chinese medicine store and did not rush to get in the car. He calmly lit a cigarette, smoking while thinking quickly.

As a well-trained agent, long-term training and experience have enabled him to develop the ability to multitask and have a photographic memory.

Although he was driving just now and his eyes seemed to be casually scanning everything around him, in fact, his eyes had already captured every detail on the street.

From the words on the shop signs on the street to the expressions of passers-by inadvertently within his sight, from the location of the street trash cans to the tiny graffiti on the wall, his brain is like a sophisticated machine, accurately recording everything.

Just now he passed by a coffee shop. The waiter was placing cups. The waiter at the door was wearing a pair of red socks. After crossing the intersection, there was a little girl selling flowers. In the basket were red roses and lilies. The little girl had bruises on her hands, probably because she had been beaten for a long time. Not far from her squatted a bearded man smoking.
By the way, the bearded man is about 1.6 meters tall and thin, and a bit like the fleeting figure just now. So why is this person following me?
Is it just one person, or are there other people secretly watching him?
The most effective way to solve this mystery is to go straight to the point and put the gun to the opponent's head, but Zhang Yi is not going to do that. He wants to see who is actually spying on him.

With this in mind, he put out his cigarette and got into the car, as if he was completely unaware of his stalker.

After the car drove for a distance, they saw a bookstore. Zhang Yi got out of the car, walked into the bookstore without looking around, and started to browse around casually.

Zhang Yi glanced at a copy of "Journey to the West" and glanced directly at it. Although he wanted to take a look, considering that he was being watched, it was better not to touch it.

Because although this book was published, it was banned by the Kuomintang.

This best-selling book is "Red Star Over China" written by American writer Snow. It was published in the UK in 37 and translated and published in Shanghai this year. However, due to the current political environment, the title was translated as "Journey to the West".

At this time, Zhang Yi caught a glimpse of "Butterfly Dream", a novel with elements of love, suspense and horror. He flipped through it casually and saw that the figure had changed his clothes and walked into the bookstore as if nothing had happened. He sneered in his heart and put the book on the bookshelf with his backhand.

Then he walked to another bookshelf and picked up another book called "How to Win Friends and Influence Others". The book is also called "Weakness of Human Nature". After flipping through it, Zhang Yi took the book to the counter to pay, and then left. All of this was seen clearly by the pair of eyes behind him.

After Zhang Yi left, he immediately walked up, picked up the upside-down book, wrote down the name, and then followed slowly.
